In a shocking turn of events, there were lots of Yankee fans overreacting on Twitter Monday night. The cause? Gleyber Torres’ defense. Yes, Gleyber has looked shaky thus far in his first full season at shortstop. But is the rational response to trade for the best shortstop in baseball? Here’s why everyone should pump the brakes on that pipe dream.
No, Yankee fans, the Indians will not accept Frazier & Andujar for Francisco Lindor. Not only is Lindor the best shortstop in baseball, he’s probably a top 10 position player in the game. Although the Indians’ owner has basically already said they won’t be re-signing Lindor, that doesn’t mean they’re just going to give him away either.
