Sure, the Cleveland Indians won 102 games last year, and sure they’re two years removed from an injury-plagued run to the World Series with most of the same core intact. But ask some Indians fans about the offseason and you’d think they’re preparing to slapfight the Kansas City Royals for the top basement dweller in the American League Central.
