One of the key remaining needs for the Cleveland Indians this offseason is a left-handed outfield bat. Tyler Naquin will miss a large portion of the season due to injury. Jake Bauers is not an especially gifted defensive outfielder, and his bat left plenty to be desired in his debut season with the Tribe. Greg Allen is a switch-hitter, but by now the book on him is that of a fourth outfielder.
Cleveland’s remaining established outfield options are Oscar Mercado, Jordan Luplow, Delino DeShields, and Franmil Reyes–all righties.
