Back in 2008, the Brewers and Indians teamed up for a blockbuster trade, involving CC Sabathia and a package of prospects that included All Star Michael Brantley. They almost combined for another blockbuster in 2016 with Jonathan Lucroy before Lucroy vetoed the deal with his no-trade clause.
Could they combine for a blockbuster this offseason? The Indians have been looking to cut payroll and are well aware that superstar shortstop Francisco Lindor will reach free agency in two years and they won’t be able to sign him to a long term deal.
