The 2020 season for the Cleveland Indians is fast approaching, and with an early start this season the opener will be on March 26th at Progressive Field against the AL Central’s Detroit Tigers.
The Tribe has undergone another shift in the roster this offseason, with the team trading former two-time Cy Young award winner Corey Kluber to the Texas Rangers for reliever Emmanuel Clase, who is out 8-12 weeks with a lat injury, and outfielder Delino DeShields.
Not many on the national scale are giving the Indians much of a chance to return to the World Series for the first time since the 2016 season when they played one of the greatest Fall Classic’s of all-time, losing in extra innings in the seventh game to the Chicago Cubs.
