This week Cleveland received the dreadful news, that a player thought to be vital to their chances of contention won’t be back in uniform in 2018. Of course I’m talking about Danny Salazar.
The news that he’s going under the knife for “exploratory” shoulder surgery is dreadful in so many ways — for the fact we don’t get to see that dazzling changeup this season, for the Indians’ near future plans, and obviously and most scarily the jeopardy it places his career in. It’s very sad — our own Chris Davies had some great words on that the other day.
