Yesterday, the Cleveland Indians made the first couple of decisions of what will undoubtedly be many this offseason when they made decisions on the team options for Carlos Carrasco and Brandon Guyer.
To no one’s surprise the Indians exercised their option on Carrasco ($9 million for an ace like Cookie is a steal); however, to the surprise of some, the Tribe declined the option on outfielder Brandon Guyer.
While the option was for only $3 million, the Tribe decided it wasn’t worth it and instead will be giving him a $250,000 buyout, making Guyer a free agent and I have to say, it was the right move.
