How the Indians avoided a free agent disaster | cleveland.com
Terry Pluto reminds of us of the many good moves the Tribe has made recently in regards to locking up our young stars. From Pluto:
TRADING COREY KLUBER?
The Indians don't have to worry about that because their two-time Cy Young Award winner signed a five-year, $38 million extension before the 2015 season.
Suppose that hadn't happened. Suppose the Indians were heading into this season knowing Kluber could leave via free agency a year from now. Imagine the gnashing of teeth and angst that would grip the fan base ... and the front office. Do you keep him and risk a huge loss ... or do you trade him?
