Jason Kipnis has been the target of a lot of heat during this offseason, and he’s been a target since his career took a downturn in 2017. His position has come under fire at times and many have called for the Cleveland Indians to trade him, seeing him as a liability on the field and in the lineup.
At the surface, those slings seem valid. He hit only .230 last season after hitting .232 the year before, and he managed only one hit in three postseason games during the Tribe’s embarrassing defeat in last years ALDS.
