Since the shifting of power away from former Indians President Mark Shaprio, the Indians have had great success with the tandem of Chris Antonetti as team President, and Mike Chernoff as the teams’ general manager.
Chernoff’s name has been mentioned in baseball circles as a rising star in the front office ranks, and there were rumblings of teams’ having interest in chatting with him about making a move away from the Indians.
According to Jon Heyman, that’s not happening, as late Tuesday Heyman tweeted out that Chernoff is set to have an extension with the Tribe, one that will keep him in the GM spot for a number of years.
