It’s quite the conundrum for the Cleveland Indians. Now that they’ve seemingly resolved their bullpen issue for the time being, they still have to deal with their outfield. Lonnie Chisenhall will remain on the DL for quite some time and Bradley Zimmer is out until next year.
Short-term the Indians can find help for the outfield this year. But there is still the impending free-agency of All-Star Michael Brantley after this year. He will undoubtedly ask for more money after a fully healthy and impressive season.
The Indians still have Tyler Naquin, Brandon Guyer, Rajai Davis, among others circling Triple-A Columbus.
