The Cleveland Baseball Club is reportedly discussing possible trades of starting pitcher Mike Clevinger.
Cleveland Baseball Club pitcher Mike Clevinger is being discussed in possible trades per Jon Heyman.
Heyman stated that the asking price is “ridiculous”, but he also adds that is should be.
Cleveland has been exploring trade options with Clevinger since last winter. This fits the familiar pattern that Cleveland utilizes when trading their starting pitchers. Explore trades the season before and trade them at the deadline or after the season. With how things have unfolded and an offense that has struggled, a mid-season trade may be more likely than initially thought.
When considering possible trade options it needs to be said that it isn’t just for this season or the year after. It would be for 2+ seasons of Mike Clevinger. What this means is that teams considered to be non-contenders at this point in time may consider adding Clevinger. A concept that was discussed on the the latest This Is Beliveland Podcast.
