It has become evident that the Cleveland Indians off-season isn’t going to be what fans had hoped for. Recent articles from Paul Hoynes of Cleveland.com, have confirmed our fears as the Indians front office was handed down a mandate to cut payroll this off-season.
Now, this could generate a wide variety of potential outcomes as far as the roster goes. However; to this point, it would appear the allotment for spending on players is nonexistent.
According to Spotrac.com, The Indians payroll in 2018 was way up at $142,804,703. With no major moves on the horizon, the Tribe payroll for 2019 would currently be $96,278,751.
