Heard Antonetti said recently that they "wouldn't part with any of their starting pitching or Carlos Santana" this offseason. Dude just doesn't get it. I like the rotation a lot but there's an old saying that "you've got to spend money to make money."

Now we all know the Dolan's aren't actually going to spend but in this case, talent is "money." I'm not saying get rid of their top starter for a mediocre stick but this team is THAT close to being where they need to be with a legit hitter.

Give me Frazier. We have enough LH hitters. I'd take them, but would prefer the righty stick.

I also am perfectly content with them not dealing any of our starters. Unless it was for someone like Bryant (I don't believe those rumors from this year for Carrasco...but I'd do that deal).

What would the Tribe have that they would give up for Frazier? The Reds want ML ready talent.

Also, looks like they won't get a big bat in the FA market.

Realistically, the Indians are going to have to go outside the organization to fortify the outfield. They are plenty of good to great outfielders available through free agency, but we've all been through this drill before.

Players such as Alex Gordon, Yoenis Cespedes and Dexter Fowler could solve the Tribe's problems, but they're too expensive and they have draft-pick compensation tied to them.
Players such as Austin Jackson, Gerardo Parra, Steve Pearce, Chris B. Young, Nori Aoki, Chris Denorfia and David DeJesus are more in the Indians' wheelhouse, but nothing is expected to happen until December or January after the market thins.

Brett Gardner to the Tribe for either Carrasco or Salazar?

Besides the Yankees, have also heard the Tribe has been in discussions with the Blue Jays (no clue) and Dodgers (Puig).

I wouldn't do that. Gardner is 32, has a bad contract, and doesn't provide the power we need in the middle of the lineup.

I really have no issue moving Salazar but I think Carrasco can be downright filthy. Wouldn't do it for a 32 year old outfielder though.

I'd love Puig! But not sure I'd give up our staters for him. 2 years ago yes, but either the league has caught up to him or he has a lot of injuries that he is playing through. Either way, he has regressed enough, you can probably get him for cheaper than Salazar.

....just off the top of my head (without looking closer), a Salazar for Puig deal intrigues me enough to not reject it out of hand.

Sounds like the Tribe signed Joba "The Hutt" Chamberlain to a 1 year "prove it" deal. I'm sure those midges down at the Jake are licking their chops.

It's just a minor league contract. No big risk there at all.

After the brass said "none of the starters are available for trade", the D-Backs reached out to the Tribe wanting Salazar. The Tribe asked for AJ Pollock in return so the D-Backs made a deal with the Braves instead.

Sounds like they have spoken to 20+ teams regarding 25 players but nothing done yet.

Just saw reds in talks with Indians about Todd Frazier. I'd be so bummed to see him anywhere but Cincinnati.... but I've been begging the reds to get younger talent and rebuild, so I guess I can't be a hypocrite.
