I hate to trade Cookie. Hate it, but I think that's what the Indians will do. And I don't think they'll get as much as they should for him because of his age and his medical history. And, of course, it's a done deal that they trade Frankie. So, with that in mind, here is about as good of an off-season as I think we'll get:
