That leaves Lee, Sowers & Miller waiting in the wings (all major league ready, well Miller needs a lil more seasoning). I am just shocked we haven't traded Sowers and/or Lee (and packaged Marte with them) yet for a corner outfielder. Of course the big problem is Lee makes some money. But there had to be someone out there we could have gotten that would be better than Michaels/Gutierrez/Delluci/Blake.

But the only way Shapiro trades CC is if are out of playoff contention (or barreled over with a huge offer). While people would be sick if/when CC leaves for free agency they would be sicker if we trade him while still in the playoff hunt leaving fans wondering "Could we have won it all if CC was still here"

But then again we are Cleveland fans... we like torturing ourselves with what ifs.

Won't matter if we win it all anyway.
