Give up one of the young outfielders and whatever the Yankees might want and get one of those relief pitchers to Cleveland. We have enough young outfielders so we can afford giving a couple of those guys up.

Like nearly everybody else, the Yankers need starting pitching. Don't see how they would ever settle for a AA outfielder as the main piece in exchange for one of the best RP available in a seller's market. The Yankers probably start talking if you offer them Clevinger, one of the AA outfielders and another top prospect. Remember, the Tribe gave up 2 first round pick starting pitchers for Ubaldo, and he was not in high demand.

The way I am looking at it is that a staff like we currently have, unless they cramp up, does not last for an eternity and we need relief pitching so give them what they want. We probably will not have Lindor in 3 seasons because of $$.

Relief pitching is needed in the worst way, Shaw and Allen are both ticking time bombs, the rest of the guys you never know what you're gonna get. If they don't make a move the pen is going to be the ultimate downfall of this team.

Lindor is Aribitration eligible in '19 and not FA eligible till 2022. I'm just telling you happy things. :)
