The Cleveland Indians wasted no time in retaining pitcher Carlos Carrasco. His option is worth $9.75 million and will keep Carassco around for the 2019 season, keeping the starting rotation intact. The Tribe rotation is the heart of this team, and they’re arguably a .500 team at best without it.
In keeping Carassco around, the Indians decided to say “happy trails” to outfielder Brandon Guyer. We talked about the hit-by-pitch specialist a few days ago and that it wasn’t likely he would be kept around.
Losing Guyer is just the start of what could be a complete overhaul of the outfield.
