Among the rapidly increasing number of questions looming over the heads of the Cleveland Indians is what the bullpen will look like in 2020.
This particular question stems just as much from personnel turnover–Nick Goody is gone and Tyler Clippard remains a free agent–as it does from a suspect 2019 season in which the Tribe posted the best bullpen ERA in baseball prior to the All-Star break before dropping to the 11th-best such mark in the second half.
With Goody now in Texas and Clippard’s future uncertain, Cleveland’s only returning relievers who posted more than 40 innings in 2019 are Brad Hand, Adam Cimber, Oliver Perez, and Nick Wittgren.
