I like the sounds of that, but if we're gonna spend more money, why didn't we invest in more pitching when it was available?

I really hope this Yan Gomes turns out, we desperately need a viable option at catcher not named Lou Marson.

Does Bastian's speculation carry weight? Is this a move to rebuild the farm or Is Lindor ready? What's your take?

That means, imo, it will likely drop, but not far enough for Cleveland. I see it dropping into another teams price range...while we are in a range unto ourselves.

I could actually see the Dolan's considering a 1 year $10-13 million deal, which is probably the range he is looking for if that is the route they go. I just don't see anyone ponying up the 7 year deal Boras was looking for at the start of the off-season, and usually he will take the 1 year deal over a 2-3 year deal every day of the week and twice on Sundays
