I don't know why anybody would care.

Just JoeZ.... I know he cares about each and every one of his 1000 favorites.

1000 ? More like every foreign player in baseball.

There's no room for Aguilar in Cleveland, obviously; nor in Columbus with Nellie Rodriguez due to move up so Bobby Bradley can take over 1st base in Akron. They picked up Colaballo as a AAA backup 1B, so if I don't see any reason Indians will grab Aguilar back.
Aguilar could be some AAA team's useful cleanup hitter and no reason to assume he won't make periodic major league appearances over the next half dozen years or at least until he ships out to Japan or Korea.

From what I'm hearing, they seem to be dropping hints that the game is contingent on the Indians dropping the Wahoo logo.

Wiley Mo Pena?!?

That's what I said. But this may explain it ...

Wily Mo sat out 2016, yet #Indians inviting him to minor-league spring training. Pena close with Encarnacion, working out with him in DR…

Aha, you might be on to something there, HB!

Sources: #Indians in agreement with free-agent LHP Boone Logan, pending physical.

6'5" lefty reliever. Has been good at times, when he can throw strikes.

Last year 46.1 IP ... Only 27 Hits ... And a very nice 57 K

If they can get him throwing strikes he could work out nicely as a 2nd lefty out of pen.

Would anyone blame the Cleveland #Indians if they start selling playoff tickets in March?Boone Logan is latest addition, per @Ken_Rosenthal

Shut up, dude. Damn.

I'm already worried about all the innings Miller and Kluber threw last October, and Miller is pitching in WBC. All we need is another jinx job by press. We all remember the Joe Carter and Cory Snyder SI cover.

Brewers picked up Jesus Aguilar off waivers.

The Indians might win the AL Central by 20 games.

Sumbitches are killing me.

So Richie Shaffer cleared waivers. Indians signed him to a AAA deal with a non-roster invitation to major league camp.

Logan is really a very good lefty, even pitched well in Colorado. Crazy swing and miss rate.

Also gave up a .142 batting average to left handed batters

So this seems an obvious move. First of all this guy can face dangerous lefty batters instead of using Miller for that role. This frees Miller up for situational 4,5,6,7 batter situations. Or just the 8th inning. Or just the 9th for a save sometimes!

Hard to top this bullpen.

Ticket sales must be going well, they keep spending when I thought they were done: Austin Jackson [although they can cut him loose at the end of ST if he is not needed, i.e. if Brantley is alive and well], now Logan.
They certainly are going for it.
