Your 2020 Cleveland Indians!
Now that the 2019 baseball season is over, it's time to start talking about the 2020 Tribe.
1. They are optioning Kluber's $17.5 million option.
2. They reportedly will not exercise the options of Kipnis and Otero. They would like to keep Kipnis, but not at $16.5 million.
3. Bullpen coach Scott Atchison was fired after two years on the job. Good, now dump the batting coach! Mickey Calloway was fired by the Mets, maybe get him to come back...lol
4. Jose Ramirez told the Indians he would move to second base if they want him to next year. He just doesn’t want to bounce between second and third. So he’ll either play second or third next year depending on what kind of infield upgrade they can find.
5. Francisco Lindor will not be traded and will play for the Tribe next year.
6. Roberto Perez, is headed to Wisconsin to get a second opinion on his right ankle. Antonetti said he could have surgery, but it should not interfere too much with his offseason conditioning.
