Today’s piece, Braves and Indians Hypothetical Trades, is the 5th in a series in which I probe to find teams that could be reaching a selling point. Here are the 4 previous pieces:
The Indians, who will be the Indians for one more year, are a good baseball team. They were 35-25 in 2020 and collected 93, 91, 102, and 94 wins in the 4 years prior. After trading Mike Clevinger, the Indians moved into the Top-10 in farm systems and in that trade, they picked up Francisco Lindor’s likely replacement in Gabriel Arias.
