Wonder if Jonathon Lucroy still thinks he made the right decision to veto trade to cleveland and instead go play in texas.  

He probably still would. IDK if it was all about texas having a better shot to win, i think more of it had to do hed rather play in texas than cleveland for 1.5 years and possibly longer

 

Its similar to how Hamels was stuck in Philly last year when they were the worst team in baseball, he wouldnt accept a trade to Toronto reportedly when Toronto was great. Hamels only had a few places hed want to go (texas being one of them) or else he said he was more than happy to stay in Philly.

 

Andrew Miller recently said/implied if he did have a no trade clause like Lucroy he probably uses it to block the trade to cleveland also because at the time the option he most wanted was to stay in New York because he loved his teammates

I dont think any player would willingly move to fly over states if given the choice in trade unless they grew up there. Free agency a bit different because cash is king.

 

agree with this

 

florida/texas also have financial reasons (no state income taxes for all home games)

 

lucroy makes around $5 million a year... probably saves around $250,000 in cold hard cash by being in texas

 

so net $2.5 million or net $2.75 million, that's a sizable difference when you consider how short a career is

cubs take game one, lefty lester will dominate. klubber very good but tribe have too many lefty batters. bad match up cubs may only score 2-3 but that'll be enough.

Tribe will probably have 2 lefties in lineup. Chisenhall and Kipnis.
