And I am back. I just tweeted to 1 of those sky is falling types: What is the big deal. Some of us long ago came to the understanding that Dolan runs a cheap outfit nothing more nothing less.

It is all good-Dolan must have a nice vaca planned this holiday season.

Agree - and besides Lindor, might this small market team be looking to extend out Bieber and Clevinger?

I think it is a beach resort this year.

Welcome back, Ken. Glad to see you are well.

Physically, anyway....

This was a salary dump ! Lindor set to make 20+ is a problem. Ken, I am still rooting for the Infiniti.

Lindor may be 30+

Didnt remember that I did not have a capitla letter in my password

Nice to hear from you again, kenm. Still in Connecticut?

Yes though a part time resident of Martha's Vineyard.

To allow room on the 40-man roster following today’s trade INF Mike Freeman was designated for assignment.

What?? Now that's going too far.

MLB Network's Jon Heyman hears the Indians are "among [the] teams considering" free agent second baseman Cesar Hernandez.

The Indians have made sense for Hernandez since the Phillies non-tendered him earlier this month, given their needs and his skillset. That skillset did take a step back this past season -- after walking at a decent clip and stealing 15-plus bases every year since 2015, he hit .279/.333/.408 with 14 homers, 71 RBI, 77 runs scored and nine steals in 2019 -- but the Indians looking at starting Christian Arroyo at second base, so he'd still be an upgrade.

Nothing much in the way of a market has materialized for the 29-year-old to this point, although Heyman's tweet suggests the Tribe aren't the only ones kicking the tires on the free agent

Shoot in his so called off year he is a big upgrade over Kipnis.
