He needed those last two months in AAA to fully refine his game.

I definitely didn’t need the green text for this one.

Why not just keep Santander and the prospects then?

Because Clevinger is the more valuable player and he would be under team control for a while.

Another Rob pipe dream and I can think of some big ones from the past. If they trade Santander, Alberto, and similar guys it will be for a pile of younger players

Pipe dream?  Do you even know what that means?

I never said this can happen.  Personally, I think the Indians would laugh at the idea.

But Santander’s name was mentioned and I was just saying it would be nice to land a pitcher like Clevinger in a deal revolving around him.

The O's rotation is Cobb, Means (who has been terrible) and a bunch of AAAA guys.  1 great pitcher doesn't make a rotation. 

What does this have to do with trading Santander for a great pitcher?

The Indians would love to have Santander back, and I bet we’d love to trade him. I don’t think we’d get a pitcher like Clevinger, but I think we’d get something quite worthwhile, and I bet the Indians are calling Mike as we speak. The Twins are a fine team, and hey, look! It’s the White Sox!

And it’s not just for now. The Indians need to keep their recent run of excellence going, and the white Sox are a real threat. It’s easy to let aggressive teams overtake you while you’re not looking.

if Elias pegs Diaz for next season, or even later this season, is happy with MC in LF, and crossing fingers for Hays in center, trading Santander isn’t out of the question at all.

One good byproduct of the short season is I only have to hear trade deadline speculation for about 7-10 days instead of the usual 6 weeks.

I doubt we get much back for Santander.

Well I can guarantee you are incorrect, because if we don’t get much we won’t trade him at all, and we will only trade him if we get much.

Here’s a bit of info:

the Twins starting CF is batting .192 with a .532 slugging %.
they have a wonderful RF in Max Kepler, but I wonder if he’d move to CF to make room for Santander.

edit: Actually, I just looked up Kepler, and his stats are pretty awful right now too...

You are guaranteeing that I’m incorrect?  
 

How can you guarantee it?  How do you know much he will get in trade?

May depend on the severity of Buxton's current injury. If he's healthy then Rosario/Buxton/Kepler is one of the best young outfields in the game.

Mike won’t trade Santander unless he gets a good return, ie “much.” If Mike doesn’t get “much” he won’t trade Santander.

In making the comment I expressing confidence that Mike won’t trade Santander without a meaningful return.
