Multiple AL East clubs have been linked as potential Francisco Lindor suitors. Here are trade packages the Cleveland Indians can explore with each of those five teams.
All indications are that Francisco Lindor has played his final game in a Cleveland Indians uniform.
Multiple reports state that Paul Dolan and Mike Chernoff plan to trade away the four-time All-Star shortstop as his contract is set to expire after the 2021 season and Cleveland in no position to resign him to a big-money extension.

Without further ado: here are trade packages from all five AL East teams that could send Lindor to one of baseball’s best divisions.
