Corey Kluber, the 2-time Cy Young Award winner, has been traded to the Texas Rangers. He missed almost all of the 2019 season with a broken arm and an oblique strain – limiting him to 35.2 innings on the season. But over the previous five seasons he threw 1091.1 innings with a 2.85 ERA. The reason he was on the trade block was the fact that Cleveland doesn’t want to spend money, and shedding his $17.5M in payroll for the 2020 season seemed better in their minds. He is also under contract for 2021 at $18M – though there is a $1M buyout.
Should the Reds have traded for Corey Kluber?
