No word on the terms of the trade yet, but it seems that the Corey Kluber era has come to a close.

Update 1: The Indians may kick in some cash to get a better return

Once traded, Kluber also will receive a $1M assignment bonus, according to his contract. #Rangers would be responsible for that payment, but it’s possible #Indians would include cash in deal to secure a better return.
