It’s true. None of us want to talk about it. The notion that the Cleveland Indians would trade one of their star pitchers is a scary one. Corey Kluber and Trevor Bauer have been sought after by a lot of teams. Just because the rumors have slowed down, doesn’t mean the possibility of a trade has died out.
Terry Pluto of the Cleveland Plain Dealer believes that those rumors could heat up once again after guys like Dallas Keuchel, Derek Holland, and other big-name free-agent pitchers sign. At that point, the market for Kluber or Bauer will be stronger.
