The KC Royals have signed one Cleveland free agent this offseason. Do the Indians have any more who could help?
The KC Royals, an uncharacteristically active club this offseason, signed Cleveland free agent Carlos Santana last month in a move designed to finally fill the first base vacancy Eric Hosmer’s departure created three years ago. Now, with little more than a month left before the Royals open spring camp, is there any other help they could find among the Indians’ free agents?
Seven of Cleveland’s original 10 free agents remain on the market—only Santana, one of the best of the bunch, and backup catcher Sandy Leon have signed with other major league clubs, Santana with Kansas City and Leon with Miami, and veteran reliever David Hernandez signed (select translate option) with the Mexican League’s Tecolotes de los Dos Laredos.
