Imagine if the Detroit Tigers didn’t have to face Corey Kluber in 2019. Or Carlos Carrasco. Or Yan Gomes. Sounds great, right? This dream scenario might not bring the Tigers any closer to contention — especially if they don’t spend any money again this offseason — but it would certainly make our lives as Tigers fans a little better, if not make for a more competitive AL Central Division.
Well, it might happen. The Cleveland Indians “will listen to trade offers” for Kluber, Carrasco, Gomes, and other veteran players this winter, according to ESPN’s Buster Olney.
