CLEVELAND -- Spring Training officially begins this week for the Indians. That means Francisco Lindor's infectious smile will bring energy to the morning workouts. Corey Kluber will return to the mound, stoic and robotic as he navigates through throwing sessions. Jose Ramirez will strut between the batting cage and practice fields.
Come Wednesday morning, pitchers and catchers will report to Arizona to begin the team's quest for a third consecutive American League Central crown. The first workout will be held on Thursday, initiating the spring battles for rotation and bullpen jobs. For the latter, the Tribe's relief corps will be missing a familiar face: Bryan Shaw.
