It’s a cold hard fact that Indians fans have been bracing for some time, with the hopes that there’s got to be a way, anyway, to avoid it from happening.
Yet unless there’s a miracle, it’s not going to.
The fact of course is that the fan base is going to have to get ready for a franchise without superstar shortstop Francisco Lindor, a player that has been the face of the franchise for the last 3-4 seasons.
Lindor’s name has been popping up all over the place in trade rumors, much like last season prior to the Winter Meetings when it was reported to be a forgone conclusion that the Indians were going to trade either or both Corey Kluber or Trevor Bauer.
