The clock is ticking on how much longer Francisco Lindor will be with the Cleveland Indians. His contract will just be too large for the owners to commit to paying, so moving him before his deal expires to get something in return seems like the only option at this point.
Luckily, the Indians have options in-house to replace Lindor when the time comes, so the return in the trade can be used to improve other positions or bolster the minor leagues and future of the franchise. However, who the Indians deal Lindor to is just as important as who they get in return.
