I wonder how much money the Tribe were offering in bonuses. Cause I understand him wanting out of that option year, but now the Brewers will trade him to someone not on his no-trade list and they'll exercise the option with no additional incentive.

He overestimated the hammer he was carrying in negotiations. Should have just juiced the Tribe management out of as much as he could and then go play ball.

ahoo’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.

Report from @JohnKeatingFSD just now on @FOXSportsDet: #Tigers inquired to #Yankees about Miller. Ask was Fulmer, Matt Boyd, Joe Jimenez.
Al Avila probably laughed that one off for a while.
