The Cleveland Indians are struggling in 2019, there can be no doubt about that. But talk about the team’s window closing or going into a total rebuild is just stupid, in our opinion.
First, the Indians aren’t some old team that has been together for seven or eight years, and haven’t been able to get over the hump.
Nor are they are team loaded with free agents to be. When fans and media alike start talking about a fire sale, who are they talking about?
The only players who will be a free agents after this season are Leonys Martin, and probably Jason Kipnis, because there is no way the Indians are picking up his option for 2020.
