Indians Unlikely To Trade Moss, Aviles; Listening On Chisenhall

By Jeff Todd | July 23, 2015 at 11:47am CDT

The 2015 Indians have not yet made good on their evident promise, in spite of quality performances from many of the team’s better long-term pieces. That frames them as a possible seller, though a late run is not out of the question. Reflecting recent comments from GM Chris Antonetti, however, the latest rumors suggest that a large-scale sell-off is unlikely, with the club perhaps looking instead to re-tool for 2016.

  • Cleveland is “unlikely” to deal outfielder Brandon Moss, Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports tweets. The 31-year-old would undoubtedly draw interest, though he’s produced a somewhat tepid .220/.293/.424 batting line. Moss does have 15 home runs, has suffered from a .261 BABIP despite a ton of hard contact, and is earning only $6.5MM with one year of arbitration control remaining. He’s also looked better in the field in the eyes of advanced metrics. All of those factors leave the Indians motivated to keep him in the fold for next season.
  • An entirely different set of considerations will likely keep Mike Aviles in Cleveland, Rosenthal reports (Twitter links). The veteran utilityman is dealing with a terribly unfortunate family situation, as his four-year-old daughter is being treated for leukemia at the Cleveland Clinic. Despite receiving some interest, the Indians have (admirably) determined not to trade Aviles in light of those circumstances.
  • The Indians are, however, willing to move third baseman Lonnie Chisenhall, Buster Olney of ESPN.com reports on Twitter. He’s currently playing in Triple-A after scuffling to start the year and only comes with two more years of control (his salary this year is $2.25MM). But the 26-year-old has shown more in the past and is putting up solid, if unspectacular, numbers at Columbus. Olney suggests he could be a bench piece for a team like the Mets, and the former top-fifty prospect carries some upside down the line.

    That’s good on the Indians handling of Aviles’ situation. Sometimes baseball has to take a back seat to what goes on in the players lives

      It’s definitely a very classy and respectable move. I have to give credit to the Indians organization for making that decision.

      Why on earth would they want to sell Kipnis, Brantley, Santana, Carrasco, or Kluber? Those are all reasonably young, good players, and none of them has a huge contract. Maybe sell some of the older pieces (though it’s unlikely anybody really wants Bourne or Swisher), but why break up a solid young core, especially when Lindor will likely be full time next season and the young pitching should only be getting better?

    What a terrible season it’s been for Chisenhall. He’s still a young guy and had a solid bat last season. Maybe keep him in triple A for a while and see if he bounces back

    Chisenhall might be a sweetener/throw in in a deal…just can’t imagine he has much value
