Expert Note
View More NotesThere's great stability in drafting Kluber, who has averaged 218 innings and 245 strikeouts with a 2.85 ERA in the last five seasons. Such stability is highly desirable from a top-10 ace who will require premium draft capital. Before deeming him a lock, beware the diminished velocity and a sinker that continues to get pounded. It's still hard to see Kluber-who turns 33 in April-falling off a clip, so his floor is relatively high compared to other starters.

Jon Morosi of MLB.com writes the Indians are unlikely to trade ace right-hander Corey Kluber this off-season.
Fantasy Impact
There were rumblings early in the winter that Cleveland would look into trading Kluber to replenish the farm system and cut payroll. However, the Indians were able to shed some other contracts and now plan to keep Kluber as they look to contend in 2019. Kluber is set to turn 33 this April but is still easily an SP1 in fantasy baseball leagues this year.
