1) Probably not. The Indians are a good team and can win the ALC for the next several years. Bieber may not be there for all of them and their young pitching is insane (I LOVE Espino), but Mozeliak won't give up the pieces to make them better this year so he'll float some bullshit through a shill like Heyman or Bowden and say 'I tried'.
2) Yes he is. Very VERY good if he can find the fastball velocity from a couple years back but after some shoulder issues in 2021 that's not a given. He found a new approach last year that worked at 92-93 but he was arguably the best in baseball at 95-96. [Reply]
That said, Indians are said to be interested in C and Herrera is blocked now. They have some young IFers who don't have Winn's ceiling but are more big league ready.
Carlson, O'Neill, Winn, Herrera
For
Bieber, Karinchak and Gabriel Arias
OF becomes Noot, Walker and maybe Gorman at that point. Probably too much for Cleveland to give up but pulling Karinchak out of there makes it seem like too little.
