Yeah that's where I am too, but given where the market is right now I don't see how you bring back an impact starter w/o one of those guys.

I'd be willing to let Bradley go, but I'm concerned that might have a negative impact on the clubhouse.

10:29am: Yahoo’s Jeff Passan reports (via Twitter) that Lucroy asked the Indians to void his 2017 club option in order to hit the open market at the end of the season in order to approve the deal (Twitter link). Understandably, Cleveland was in no way willing to meet that request, as the option is a significant factor in Lucroy’s value to the club. USA Today’s Bob Nightengale, meanwhile reports that the Indians weren’t promising Lucroy that he’d be their starting catcher in 2017, which gave him pause in approving the deal. Cleveland planned to rotate Lucroy between catcher, first base and DH in 2017.
lucroy's contract is a big part of what makes him so attractive to other teams, but now he wants them to basically consider him a rental? he's not that good.

Lucroy is not an idiot, the Indians told him that he would have his option picked up and he would back up Gomes next season. No brainer for him to say no.

this makes it sound like he'd be riding the bench in 2017, which isn't accurate. although there were signs that he wouldn't be the indians everyday catcher, he'd still be in the lineup at 1B or DH.

His value changes entirely if he isn't a catcher, he goes from being one of the best hitting catchers in baseball to being a medium hit utility player when he hits the market.
