With already having Bummer likely as our 8th inning guy and Colome closing. Cishek is a real nice addition.

Then, if you have a Herrera bounce back season or Jace Fry finally puts it together consistently. Man, you're really in business.

Again...?

Since 2015 this team has been in a full blown rebuild and "winning/losing is basically aside" mode.

So, I think you have the wrong board.

Also, I was merely speaking on the bullpen. I don't think you can deny the success of those three guys recently.

Very happy we signed Cishek. He was one of my three BP targets for us to sign this offseason.

Warning acknowledged. So what's up with all the Lindor/Clevinger trade gossip? Lindor I kind of understand being he's going to be a FA in 2022 and should command a boatload of money on the open market. Plus he's already making major coin while still under arbitration. His trade value will never be higher than this year. But Clevinger is signed under contract thru 2022 and his arbitration numbers are way smaller, making him much more affordable and with an extra year to boot.

I honestly thought the Lindor to the Dodgers talk had legs and fully expected something to happen before Christmas. Hate to lose him, but like you said it makes complete sense. They could do a major prospect haul with that trade alone.

I would like to hold onto Clev for what it's worth. I have always liked that kid, and even with Kluber gone that rotation would still be good so I say ride it out.
