Angels are interested in Corey Kluber

Well when your most recent season is the injury season and that season was his age 33 season, it tends to lead to having at least some doubts.  He didn’t pitch after May 1st last year.  So to have a top 50 prospect along with 3 other guys, I’d say we are reaching the very limits of what that should cost.  

So you’re saying the Indians should wait

It would be amazing to get it done without him.  But if I had to choose between trading Fletcher or Marsh, man I probably trade Fletcher.  I just have a feeling that Rengifo will be better offensively.  

Would you swap Rengifo in for Fletcher? I know I would. I really like Rengifo, but I think the Indians are gona want some established production on the table to make a deal happen.

Really?  Fletch lives man.  Spark to the team, versatile, clutch...  i gotta say adios to rainfro before fletch.  But it’s a tough call

Watch the Indians take on Simmons contract so they can move Lindor to the Dodgers.

If I was the Indians I would trade him at the deadline if i don’t like the offers.  If he comes back and is typical Kluber they would get a ton for him at the deadline.

[Chuck]

Guys, I would shit myself if this actually happened, But do you think the Indians would do this?

Angels send: Simmons, Fletcher, Suarez or Barria, Soriano and Jordyn Adams

Indians send us: Lindor and Kluber

[Vlad27Trout27]

Lets say we make Fletcher the center in a trade for Kluber, and than one of Suarez/Sandoval and another prospect.

What do you guys think about Cesar Hernandez? he could be an replacement for Flecth while filling in a Ut. he's can rotate between 2nd and rf, while La Stella rotations between 2nd and 1st. 

[Stradling]

Oh I would probably trade Rengifo before I trade Fletcher.

I think now it makes more sense now then ever to extend Simmons. See how he does the first few months and if he's back on track offensively, lock him up.

Kluber has greater upside than Gray

Sure, but he’s also more risky. Nobody knows which version of Kluber we’ll get (the ace or the damaged goods).

If you want Lindor you are probably giving up Adell.  The Dodgers are talking May and Lux.

Okay if we get Lindor..... greatest offseason in Angels history.

So struggling with multiple injuries then? 

A freak bone break that is likely not to happen again...and a strained oblique...so 1 injury and a freak accident.

That would be sweet: A core of Trout, Lindor, Rendon, Ohtani, Adell. Holy fuckballs.

That said, hard to imagine the Angels being able to afford Lindor and Ohtani long-term.

Yeah but this team needs to lock down some upside in that rotation

[totdprods]

Fletcher isn’t going to be traded for Kluber, and, if he is, it’ll be because the Indians value the shit out of him and he makes up a majority of the talent going back. Which I don’t see happening.

[CanadianHalo]

Why in the hell do people think it’s going to take Fletcher to get Kluber?

It made sense before they gave Rendon $35M/yr. Simmons will likely command more than $15M and that's money they can give towards pitching/raises. Fletcher should develop well into SS. Financially it makes more sense.

[Stradling]

Would you guys trade Adell for Lindor?  I might.

Only if Lindor would sign an extension here. I don't trade Adell for two years of anyone.

We could offer something else, but we have a log jam in the infield now and the Indians aren't just going to give away Kluber.
