It seems like just yesterday Francisco Lindor stormed the stage of Major League Baseball and immediately established himself as one of the game’s bright young stars. It seems like a day or two after that, that Yandy Diaz showed a flair for hitting the ball hard, but not well.

The Indians announced late Thursday that had signed Melky Cabrera to a minor-league deal. He’ll report to the Triple-A Columbus Clippers, but realistically, how long will he stay there?
