Indians can survive without Mike Clevinger

Mike Clevinger breached a level of trust that cannot be overstated. His teammates (including one recovering from Leukemia), coaching staff, and the families of those around him trusted him to follow safety protocols and not expose them all to a deadly virus. Even worse than that, he lied about it and watched as his teammate who broke the same trust — Zach Plesac — was outed and sent home from Chicago in a rental car.

Even watching outbreaks occur on the Marlins and Cardinals did not deter the two of them from leaving the team hotel Chicago night and not returning until early the next morning.
