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.

Monday, we took a look at trade packages the Indians could land from all five NL East squads in a Lindor trade. Today, we take a look at some mock trades with the five AL East squads.

While the Boston Red Sox and Baltimore Orioles are unlikely destinations for Lindor, the defending AL Champion Tampa Bay Rays could look to add him and make a run in 2021 before letting him walk as a free agent while the New York Yankees and Toronto Blue Jays are viewed at some of the front runners to land the Indians shortstop.

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