Is there really much of a market for him to leave Cleveland?

Travis Sawchik

7:36

I'm not sure. He could fit somewhere in the AL East or ... Oakland

Mike

7:36

Actually, is today the first weekday you haven’t written an article since you started?

Travis Sawchik

7:37

Hey, I submitted an article ... you will have to take that up with Carson. But, I have missed a few weekdays since I began Jan. 3

Matt

Pro tip: you should pose the Santana question to a poll

Travis Sawchik

7:38

Where will Carlos Santana sign?

Cleveland (43.5% | 47 votes)

Elsewhere (56.5% | 61 votes)

Total Votes: 108

KBO Wild Card

7:38

We're with you, Travis. Make it happen!

Phil

7:38

David Ross was pimping the KBO idea and they were discussing it on Mike & Mike as well... so, it's out there.

Travis Sawchik

7:38

Oh?

I hope they are all referencing the piece published on Fan Graphs dot com

hmm Dave's got a lot of pure stuff fast answer's sharp sarcasm a lot of break on his put downs but Jeff is very cerebral with a great mix of stories and ideas. keeps the readers guessing. it's a tough call do you go for the stuff or the command for that crucial game four? make your call Manager travis!

Travis Sawchik

Those guys are each top-of-the-rotations options

I'm Joe Blanton trying to give you multiple innings to bridge

Uncle Jimbo

The Indians acquired Santana for Casey Blake in 2008. Who won that trade?

Travis Sawchik

7:40

hmmmm

Indians have done very well in returns for middling talent

Matt

7:40

Watching bars move on a real-time poll is great fun.

Travis Sawchik

7:40

Indeed

Dr Evil

7:41

How long do you think Cleveland's window is (for serious WS contention)?

Travis Sawchik

7:41

Quite a while because Kluber, Lindor, Ramirez, Carrasco, Ramirez, Zimmer are all under control through at least 2020

Hunky Dory

7:41

Travis, you are Chad Green. Don't let anyone tell you you're Joe Blanton ever again.

Show Hey O'Tawny

7:42

How many people are in this chat right now?

Travis Sawchik

7:43

Proprietary!

There are several hundred here at the moment and there have been several thousand throughout the day

7:44

Urshela is on the roster for his glove ....

Uncle Jimbo

7:44

You know you hit a seed when you hurt the third baseman.

7:44

Ouch. Don't expect that from Urshela

Matt

7:44

I think that's a tough error there.

It ain't called The Hot Corner for nothing!

Travis Sawchik

7:45

I cannot imagine playing third against a Judge or Sanchez ... Plus, Sanchez probably freaking hates me

bees

7:45

Do you think Cleveland picks up Brantley's option? Is clubhouse harmony worth $11 million?

Travis Sawchik

7:46

The Indians do seem to reward their favorites ... but i'd personally rather spend that on Santana or Bruce

Trevor Bauer is kind of like a RHP Rich Hill, only quite a bit different

britishcub

7:47

what's the chat equivalent of a pitcher giving up a homer?naming the best players in baseball and forgetting Mike Trout? quoting pitcher wins as a predictive stat maybe?

Travis Sawchik

7:47

Or suggesting Gary Sanchez is not amazing

HankLloydWright

7:47

Sanchez retires a clear hall of famer: "It was all because Travis Sawchik said I wasn't that good"

Travis Sawchik

7:48

I hope he invites me to Cooperstown for the speech

7:50

Not Bauer's best curve, but Frazier did a nice job lashing that into the corner

Matt

7:50

Did you ever really suggest Sancho wasn't great? Or just display a deathly amount of skepticism of last year's small sample?

Travis Sawchik

7:51

I thought it was more a health amount of skepticism
