The 2022 starting rotation is already set for the Cleveland Indians / Cleveland Guardians and it’s looking promising.
The Cleveland Indians have struggled during the 2021 season in a way that we really haven’t witnessed since 2012. The team is on the brink of finishing below .500 for the first time during the Terry Francona era and a large part of the team’s hardships boils down to the starting pitching.
Over the last couple seasons the Tribe has essentially traded away an entire starting rotation, dealing Corey Kluber, Trevor Bauer, Mike Clevinger and Carlos Carrasco who served as the core of the team for the last few years.
