I know stever wouldn't trade an old pair of socks for Yasiel Puig, but apparently the Indians are thinking about it...

John Paul Morosi on MLB dot com Wrote:Discussions continue between the Dodgers and Indians about a blockbuster trade that could result in a two-time Cy Young Award winner joining Clayton Kershaw in the Los Angeles rotation.

Sources say the Dodgers and Indians have discussed various trade proposals in recent days. One such possibility involves Cleveland ace Corey Kluber going to Los Angeles in a deal that includes Yasiel Puig.

The Dodgers would need to add at least one significant player in addition to Puig in order for the Indians to seriously consider moving Kluber, one source said Wednesday. MLB Network insider Ken Rosenthal was first to report the talks between the Dodgers and Indians.

In addition to Puig, the Dodgers have catching-prospect depth and would likely be willing to move left-hander Alex Wood and right-handed prospect Yadier Alvarez, who was just recently added to Los Angeles' 40-man roster.

Dodgers don't REALLY need starters, but I'd do this deal in a heartbeat.

ETA: One of the reasons I'd do it so quickly is because I'm not sure the numbers make sense. Puig's gonna get about $11MM this year from arbitration, and Wood $9MM. Kluber's salary is nearly $40MM over the next three years but only the first year is guaranteed so his luxury cap hit is (for the moment) VERY low. Cleveland wouldn't be doing its payroll any favors with this deal unless there's a bunch more farm talent included.
