As you may have heard earlier in the offseason, the Cleveland Indians intend to trade Francisco Lindor by Opening Day. This is a bold choice that in no way can or will backfire upon the Indians. Great teams trade away their best offensive stars all the time, like the 2020 Red Sox, and we all saw how great the 2020 Red Sox were.
That said, if you squint, you can actually see how this makes more sense for the Indians than it may have for the Red Sox to deal Mookie Betts a year ago.
