Now that the hot stove league has started, you can’t watch or listen to shows about baseball without people talking about the Cleveland Indians trading all star shortstop Francisco Lindor.
We, of course, have stated many times that we would not be in favor of dealing the Indians’ face of the franchise, preferring to sign one of the best players in the game to a long term contract.
We were wondering how many other star players were traded at age 25 while being one of the best players in the game?
We did come up with a few, although most aren’t as good as the Indians shortstop, and we wanted to see what kind of return the player brought back.
