A fan favorite of the past who had a promising career sidetracked due to a string of injuries is again back with the Indians, this time in an off-the-field role.
On Tuesday, the Indians announced the hiring of Grady Sizemore as an adviser to player development. Sizemore will be at the Indians’ camp in Goodyear, Ariz. this spring. He’ll first assist the major-league staff for the next few weeks before moving to minor-league camp in March.
Once the regular season hits, Sizemore will serve in a role resembling a special assistant in player development and baseball operations.
