6 breakout candidates for Cleveland in 2021

If Cleveland is going to approach anything resembling their best-case scenario for 2021, it’ll require a few breakouts at the corner of Carnegie and Ontario.

They can be a good team with what they have already in reigning Cy Young winner Shane Bieber and perennial MVP candidate José Ramírez anchoring both ends of the game, but if they want a real shot at competing with — and hopefully toppling — the Twins and White Sox, their established stars will need some help.

With a roster consisting of only a handful of players over 30, there is a lot of room for breakouts to occur.
