The replies were predictable, if not maddening.
Cleveland.com’s Paul Hoynes, as he’s wont to do, fired up the always rational Cleveland Indians fan base yesterday with a late-spring non-story about Francisco Lindor playing another season without a big-money deal.
(I’m actually more worried about Trevor Bauer seemingly not being interested in signing a long-term deal to stay here, but that’s another topic for another day.)
The Lindor replies were hilarious, but my favorite was from Joe Barnes:
Yet fans are saying relax! Won’t be saying relax when the Indians are winning 70 games a season very soon

Francisco Lindor is not going anywhere, gang, at least not for two more years and probably for at least four more years — seasons in which your Cleveland Indians project to be very good (as they have been for the last five seasons, if you haven’t noticed).
