The Cleveland Indians’ most notable move this offseason was bringing in Yonder Alonso to replace Carlos Santana, but it wasn’t the only move.
The Indians have invited several players to Spring Training, with Melvin Upton Jr. being the biggest name among that group.
If he does make the team out of Spring Training, he has a nice payday awaiting him in 2018.
This is a nice low-risk deal for the Indians. If Upton doesn’t make the team, then it is no big deal. But if he plays great and earns a spot, getting production from a veteran player for $1.
