The Cleveland Indians traded right-hander Corey Kluber, a two-time Cy Young Award winner, to the Texas Rangers in the morning. The Dodgers were rumored to have wanted Kluber last season before an injury-plagued 2019 limited him to seven starts. Instead, they have set their eyes on Cleveland shortstop Francisco Lindor and, to a lesser extent, Indians right-hander Mike Clevinger. The question is whether the Dodgers would need to add another top prospect, namely right-hander Dustin May, to land Lindor. AdvertisementThe Dodgers envision Clevinger pitching between Walker Buehler and Clayton Kershaw atop their rotation, with Lindor at shortstop and bolstering the lineup.
