Complexity of Francisco Lindor trade makes it unlikely

Just about every angle of the Francisco Lindor trade story has been covered already, and we are still far from the hot stove being even lukewarm. This is our lives now, probably until somewhere around July 31, 2021.

Over at MLB.com, Anthony Castrovince laid out all of the reasons why it makes sense to trade Lindor now. That is why we will hear this story hashed out over and over until Mr. Smile is traded, walks in free agency, or shocks every person who follows the sport by re-signing in Cleveland.

The pragmatic reasons as to why the Indians should move on from Lindor are undeniable, and the team is as vulnerable to those practical reasons as almost any other team in baseball.
