The Emmanuel Clase, Korey Kluber trade has been an overwhelming success for the Cleveland Guardians.
Players such as Sandy Alomar Jr, Carlos Baerga, Grady Sizemore, Carlos Carrasco, Cliff Lee, Michael Brantley, and Andrew Miller came to Cleveland through a trade. Now, those players are regarded as some of the best players in franchise history.
Flash forward to the offseason and Texas believed there was still something left in the tank and thought he could be a valuable addition to their rotation. They were looking to compete immediately, and Kluber's track record as an ace made him an attractive addition. For Cleveland, saying goodbye to a legend who carried the rotation to the 2016 World Series was a tough pill to swallow.The main return in this deal was Emmanuel Clase's velocity, which was added to Cleveland's bullpen. However, no one could have predicted what would come next during Clase's career.
Not to mention that Cleveland's front office recognized Clase's value and potential early on and signed him to a five-year, $20 million extension ahead of the 2022 season. This means he'll be under team control through the 2028 season on antakes a great look back at some of those. However, the front office still gave up top-talent that would go on to have successful careers to bring in some of their best players.
