2016 was a fun year to be a Cleveland Indians fan. So many players had breakout seasons for the team, all contributing to the overall feat of making it to the World Series.
Mike Napoli was a major part of the team’s success, having a career year in 2016. His 34 home runs and 101 RBI gave the Indians a legitimate power hitter for the first time in a long time, and he provided fans with some flashbacks to power not seen since the 1990s.
But after just one season, the Indians are moving on from Napoli in favor of Edwin Encarnacion.
