The Indians Rotation Will Thrive With Roberto Perez
Roberto Perez is one of the best game managing catchers in the league and his ability to get the most out of his pitchers is invaluable to the Cleveland Indians.
The Cleveland Indians made a big, if not surprising, move on November 30, 2018, when they moved their primary catcher Yan Gomes to the Nationals. Many fans were shocked and upset by this move for two important reasons.
Gomes was coming off of an All-Star campaign in 2018 and has been a staple for the Tribe since joining the team in 2013. The Indians also lost several key hitters and with Gomes coming off of one of his better offensive season this move looked like part of a major overhaul.
