Francisco Lindor may have already played his final game in a Tribe uniform, but I will save the career retrospective for when the ending to his tenure in Cleveland has been written in ink.
For now, let’s focus on his would-be final season, which, in a cruel twist of fate, was by far his worst with the Indians. But first, a confession: It has been a drag watching and writing about Lindor this season, not knowing whether the clock would strike midnight this year or the next. So I can only imagine what it was like for him to play with that cloud of uncertainty looming over him during an abbreviated season that was essentially a pale imitation of a normal year.
