Josh Donaldson hit a home run on September 14 of this year and had me thinking the Cleveland Indians had that magic back.
Too bad it was just one hit in a loss.
The Indians brought Donaldson to town in September and he ended up appearing in 16 regular season games. He also played in all three playoff games, picking up one hit in 11 at-bats.
The Donaldson era ended abruptly and the goal of him coming to town to help this team win a World Series never came to be.
He signed a one-year, $23 million last year so it seemed like he would be out of the Indians’ price range for a deal in 2019.
