    Or a Chien-Ming Wang incident. I'm sure he would like to focus on just pitching at his old age and not worry about hitting. Not like the AL Central has power offenses either, just like the NL West. He would be playing on the most offensive squad with the Indians. Let's not fool ourselves either, money will be the determining factor. I just feel like the AL is more suited for him.

    Money, which the Indians' owner is quite tightfisted about.

    I am sure he is more open minded after seeing his rotation pitch all spring and two weeks into the season.

    Not really. If the team isn't in contention, he'll cut his losses and let the rookies play out the season, and I don't disagree that it's the sensible move. Indians fans learned that lesson a long time ago when Bartolo Colon was traded.

    If the team's not in contention, they can just trade Pedro.

    Except there's no guarantee they can just trade him. He could be on the DL during the trade deadline and they would be forced to pay his full salary.

    It could be a risk he is willing to make given how pitiful his rotation has been. $5 million (which he won't get) is not a lot of money to eat. Not many available pitchers out there and that's what they need more than anything.

    It is when Pedro wants that $5 million guaranteed, even if he gets hurt after 1 start. Larry the Lawyer is only willing to reach that amount in performance-based incentives. Pedro don't want no stinking incentives.

    Again, I don;t see anyone giving him $5 million, not even the Dodgers.

    Then he won't be playing this year. He's sure as shit not going to play for a bad Indians team for $1.5 million.
