Winter is a double tragedy.
One: there is no baseball.
Two: the long, dark, cold winter nights would be much more tolerable with baseball to keep us company.
It is simply not to be, unless you want to watch replays from the 2001 ALDS on MLB Network or three guys regurgitating the same six trade rumors.
One of the major rumors this offseason is that the Indians may trade away star shortstop Francisco Lindor. That’s not an easy idea to stomach. There are few players in all of professional sports that play with the same joy; there are fewer who match that exuberance with elite talent.
