Cleveland Indians: The 2017 FanSided Winter Meetings

The Cleveland Indians may be making some moves this offseason, and us here at FanSided will be doing our own simulation of the hot stove action.

This offseason figures to be a busy one around Major League Baseball, with the same being true for the Cleveland Indians.

The Indians have some big decisions to make when it comes to bringing back some key players, while reinforcements may be sought out in trades.

Fans love to offer up their own opinions on what the team should do, and because of that the MLB site experts at FanSided decided to do something fun.

Beginning Monday, we will be conducting our own offseason, filled with trades, free agents signings and everything that goes on during an offseason.

Alan Carpenter of Tomahawk Take explains all the rules in an explanatory article.

The simulation runs from noon on Monday until 9 p.m. on Wednesday, and we figure plenty of big moves will happen during these few days.

I will post about any trades made and will be sure to specify that they are indeed only for this simulation, and not real moves made by the team that only I have reported.

I don’t want to confuse anyone during such a stressful time of year.

Be sure to comment or reach out on Twitter with your thoughts on any moves that are made, or any moves you think we should make. And remember, Bryan Shaw is a free agent so no need to demand he be traded the second the simulation begins.
