Following the 2018 MLB Winter Meetings, What’s Next for the Indians?

3. The Market for Kip

The Indians deal on Thursday sending Yandy Diaz to the Rays means that (for now), Jason Kipnis is back as the team’s full-time second basemen.

At 32 years old and set to make $14.6 million this season, the Indians would be miracle workers if they can somehow rid themselves of that contract and send Kipnis elsewhere.

Of course that’s easier said than done, and not many teams are in the market looking for a 32-year-old infielder who in his last two years has hit .232 and .232 with a combined 30 homers and 110 RBI.

IF the Indians can find a way in dealing of their starters for a couple players and prospects AND shoehorn Kip into that deal – it would greatly benefit this team from a fiscal standpoint, and they would get rid of a huge contract in the process.
