I am OK with trading Corey Kluber. Let's set the record straight right here. However, it would have to be for a great return.
Let's define a great return:
1. Young highly regarded prospect (top 20 in all of baseball) who can step in and play a position of need this year (outfield, third or second base).
2. A reliable reliever who is under a club-favorable contract and still had 2 or more years of control
3. A young, highly rated prospect who is still 2 years away from having to be rostered and at least 3 years away from the majors.
4. If necessary, taking on a short term veteran contract of lesser value than Kluber's if they fill a position of need with us.
Now, in saying this I wanted to throw out some names:
Francisco Mejia
Oliver Perez
Willi Castro
Edwin Encarnacion
Basically I am asking to get back what we already traded away in the past 6 months.
Now, when you think about that, isn't it silly to trade Kluber away just to get back guys like this?
I think it is.
How about you?
