In this three-part series, we will compare the Cleveland Indians to the rest of the AL Central starting by power ranking each AL Central team’s projected starting rotation.
Thursday, the Cleveland Indians pitchers and catchers will report to Goodyear, Arizona in preparation for the 2021 season with the goal of ending the teams’ MLB long 72-year World Series title drought.
While for many, the Indians securing a fifth playoff berth in the last six years may be enough given the teams’ decision to trade away their best player in Francisco Lindor, the team clearly has bigger goals as long as Terry Francona, who won two World Series managing the Boston Red Sox is still the teams’ skipper.
