What’s next for the Cleveland Indians after Lindor trade?

The Cleveland Indians checked off the first box of their offseason do list by trading Francisco Lindor, but what else is in store for the Tribe? Moving Carlos Carrasco in the deal as well, the Indians were able to cut around $44 million from their payroll. However, what they do with that money and how they navigate the rest of the offseason and the 2021 season is still well up for discussion.

While Lindor was the big move of the offseason, it brings the Cleveland Indians to a crossroads for what to do next.
