Just heard them say on the ESPN game that Kluber has a fractured forearm.

... and this is why you work to improve your team in the offseason if you expect to win. Even World Series winners don’t stand pat, let alone dump salary and let talent walk without replacing in in kind. You can’t just throw your shoes on the field and expect to win... ANYTHING. 

You have to decide whether you want to win, or rebuild. What we are witnessing is an abdication of the AL Central. 2 games behind and your Ace goes down without the hitting to help mitigate that. 

Totally predictable. SMH. :(

I was in the camp of moving Kluber in the offseason. Thankful for what he's done previously but frankly, this year he's been hot garbage. Thought he was starting to hit that "wall" a while ago.

I was livid they didn’t trade Kulber or Carrasco for some top end offense. Inexcu

Kluber,  at his worst, is a better than average pitcher and a credit to any pitching staff of a team that expects to contend. If they were unable to obtain what they felt was appropriate value for a pitcher of his talents, then I’m okay with keeping him even if his skills are diminished. Otherwise, you are just dumping salary without getting like value in return ... and there  was way too much of that already this winter.

Yeah, I remember. You were definitely pro "trade him."

-.4 WAR, 501 currently in pitcher ranking out of 528

Hopefully he comes back as old Kluber
