It doesn’t make any real, logical sense to be a Cleveland Indians fan. Perhaps if you’re over a certain age and you have some kind of geographical attachment to the team, or like me have a familial connection to the team it make sense. In the grander scheme of things, there are just better choices to make, if only to protect your sanity and have some kind of peace of mind in your life. Fans want a winner, a constant contender who has a real shot at a World Series and won’t be hamstrung by their own pocketbook. The Indians were a few feet away from one of those titles in 2016, but it’s hard to call them a true, top-flight, Astros-ian contender in any sense, whether then or now.
Jason Kipnis was something special to Cleveland
