Indians Owner To Fans on Francisco Lindor's Future: 'Enjoy Him'

Cleveland Indians owner Paul Dolan admits his team can't go after big-name players that could become free agents such as Manny Machado, Bryce Harper or even Mike Trout.

Dolan discussed his team's payroll strategy and the team's plan for star shortstop Francisco Lindor.

Dolan told The Athletic that the Indians never thought they would complete a deal like the one they handed Edwin Encarnacion in 2016.

Encarnacion received a three-year, $60 million deal to sign with Cleveland. Encarnacion spent two seasons with Cleveland before being traded to the Seattle Mariners in a three-team deal in December.
