joejoesox Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Yeah this is being thrown around as leverage on another deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tnetennba Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Imagine being Cleveland, alone in 1st place at the deadline, halfway through this condensed season, trading one of their best pitchers to an upstart division rival nipping at their heals and poised to be competitive for the division title for the next half decade. This would be White Flag trade level bad for them. I just don't buy it Bob. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nitetrain8601 Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 It will never happen. Both fanbases would be upset as it means at least one of Dunning/Kopech is assuredly gone and the Indians are only a game apart. With that stated, I would try to get Plesac included as well (clearly they both enjoy Chicago) since we honestly need two starters. Now the Indians might be doing this trade in part, because they are trying to open a spot for Plesac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quin Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 I feel like Clevinger could be a Swisher-level grenade in the clubhouse. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Look at Ray Ray Run Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 (edited) Cleveland may really have soured on Clevinger. Engel being one of the "guys" is hilarious though. Edited August 30, 2020 by Look at Ray Ray Run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a soul in Soxland should have a problem with that. Kopech is one that is painful, and would require more thought. But I think you definitely have to do it for Clevinger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to trade either, but for someone like Clevinger, I would live with trading Dunning (since I think he's further away). If I traded both, it would have to be for a DeGrom type pitcher.

bighurt574 Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 While a trade seems unlikely, being “a game apart” in the division standings this year doesn’t mean much. With the expanded playoffs, both teams are pretty close to locks to make the playoffs anyway. Next year might be another story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They want the Clevinger rumor out there and they had Merkin tweet “only players with longer contracts” out of the blue yesterday. They definitely want both those ideas out there.
