And Derek Falvey has been promoted to Assistant General Manager.
As expected, just days after honoring outgoing President Mark Shapiro in their final game of the regular season, the Cleveland Indians have announced that they have promoted General Manager Chris Antonetti to President of Baseball Operations and promoted Assistant General Manager Mike Chernoff to General Manager. Filling Chernoff’s spot as Assistant GM will be Director of Baseball Operations Derek Falvey.
In the time since Mark Shapiro announced that he’d be leaving for Toronto, several teams have reportedly attempted to interview Mike Chernoff for their own GM vacancies.
