Four Keys for the Indians Offseason to Be Successful and Still Make a Title Run in 2019

3. If You Make a Deal – Make it the Right One

It’s going to hurt to part ways with the likes of Corey Kluber or Carlos Carrasco, but with the way the AL Central lines up, the Indians can win it without one of those guys coming out every five days, and it might be worth it if you get a boatload in return.

While the last thing you want to do is make anyone else in the American League better, you may not have a choice if you want to grab future prospects as well as stay competitive this season.

If you can get a decent outfielder to fill one of the voids as well as a bullpen arm, it’s almost a given that you would have to give serious consideration to making a deal at this point.

The Indians front office has made some tremendous deals the past few seasons, and while this time they are more so the seller than the one buying, this might be the most important deal the team has made in a number of years.

It could be one to get at no less than one Major League ready player, and hopefully a couple high profile prospects that can help you in the very near future.
