Cleveland Indians: 3 realistic free agents Tribe could sign
3 realistic free agents the Cleveland Indians could potentially sign.
The Cleveland Indians go into the offseason that will undoubtedly be marked by change.
Brad Hand’s option has already been declined. Brad Mills won’t return to his role as Terry Francona’s bench whisperer, while Tito’s health concerns leave us wondering if he’ll be able to make it through the season.
The World Series ended just four days ago, and this is just the tip of the ice berg. Carlos Santana had his option declined. Cesar Hernandez will likely sign elsewhere in free agency. The Indians couldn’t find a trade partner who wanted to take on Brad Hand. Francisco Lindor is as good as gone.
Jose Ramirez may be the only starting infielder to return to a team that was in a dog fight for the AL Central crown in 2020.
And now, it seems more and more like Carlos Carrasco may be traded, as the Indians have made their financial situation appear to be very dire.
So, with the ability to spend virtually no money this offseason, here’s three realistic free agents the Tribe could potential target.
