Cesar Hernandez was the high-profile acquisition in a winter completely devoid of high-profile acquisitions for the Cleveland Indians. The former Phillies second baseman inked a one-year deal worth $6.25 million with the Tribe back in December, making him the highest-paid newcomer by a long shot.
The rest of Cleveland’s offseason was dominated by negativity. Corey Kluber was traded. Whether you’re of the mind that he’s over the hill or not, a return of Emmanuel Clase and Delino DeShields certainly seems like the Indians sold low on their two-time Cy Young winner.
