[dtgold88]

For?

 

[Comm1]

He is signed through the 2020 season with a club option for 2021. Not sure on the dollar amount.

$17 mil this year. Think around $20 mil next season.

$18 Million in 2021 with a 1 Million buyout ... The Indians got very little in return ... Good news for the rest of the Central.

Meh. He pitched 30 some odd innings last season with a 5.80 era.

I wish they could have gotten more for him, but given the issues he’s had with his back and what happened last season, it’s not surprising.

Thanks for 2016, and good luck, Mr Kluber.

I wonder if Texas would be interested in Jordan Zimmerman.

Good pickup for Texas. That return though for Cleveland is awful.

All remains to be seen.

How people misunderstand the concept of a trade vs a FA signing is beyond me. They two are VERY different, and reporting one as the other just shines a spotlight on the “reporters” ignorance.

Hence my title “Rangers”

Are you serious?

Corey Kluber has agreed to terms with the Texas Rangers.

Further, the Rangers didn’t agree to terms with Kluber, as your title states, they agreed to terms with the Indians.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Also, penis.

I also don’t like when folks compare player contracts signed as extensions to contracts signed when the player is an unrestricted FA. There’s a pretty big difference between those as well.

Great deal for Cleveland. Kluber is all but done.


Well, great deal if they pass the savings on to Lindor anyway. If they don't, nothing they do matters for atleast a decade.

 

[broncosmitty]

For?

Negative $37,000,000.

Love trading a 2 time cy for a reliever and a OF that can’t hit. Classic tribe

Considering Kluber’s past two seasons and the approx $40MM he’s owed over the next two seasons, I don’t have much of a problem with this move. They probably should have traded him last offseason.
