NATIONAL HARBOR, Md. -- The Indians have spent the early portion of the offseason monitoring the marketplace. Now that the team's decision-makers are descending on the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center for baseball's annual Winter Meetings, there is an opportunity to gain ground in discussions.
Cleveland arrives to the Meetings as the reigning American League champions and will examine possibilities for enhancing what is already a strong returning roster. The Indians are in the market for outfield help, an impact bat and pitching depth. Over the next four days, Chris Antonetti, the Tribe's president of baseball operations, and his front-office team will meet with agents and other teams behind the scenes.
