The Indians are still in contention for a wild card spot and gaining quickly on the Twins. As long as they are in contention, I don’t see a trade involving Trevor Bauer. If they were to make a trade, the trade would have to help this year and in 2020. This trade proposal does not do that. If Cleveland were rebuilding, this could be a start, but another piece would have to be added.
