MLB Rumors: Indians President Says Team Not Planning on Trading Lindor

Mike DiNovo-USA TODAY Sports

Hours after trading two-time AL Cy Young award winner Corey Kluber to the Texas Rangers, Cleveland president Chris Antonetti reiterated his belief that All-Star shortstop Francisco Lindor will still be Cleveland's shortstop on Opening Day.

Lindor has recently been linked to trade rumors. Most notably, USA Today's Bob Nightengale reported earlier this week that the Dodgers are engaged in "serious" discussions with Cleveland about the star shortstop.

The 26-year-old Lindor has made four-straight All-Star teams and is not a free agent until after the 2021 season.
