Following a somewhat unexpected World Series run, the Cleveland Indians went into the offseason with a roster lacking any major holes in it. The Indians will retain everyone from the 2016 roster except veterans Coco Crisp, Rajai Davis, Chris Gimenez, Mike Napoli, and Jeff Manship.
Mike Napoli is arguably the most notable departure of this group. He provided veteran leadership while slashing .239/.335/465 with 34 HRs and a 104 OPS+. The Indians need to find a way to replace that production at the 1B/DH spot. Fortunately for the Indians, a lot of 1B/DH type of players are available on what is looking like a rather thin overall free agent market this offseason.
