Cleveland Indians: Should the Tribe re-sign Yasiel Puig?

Regardless of what narrative ownership tries to sell in the next couple months, the Cleveland Indians aren’t as financially hamstrung as they were last offseason. With Trevor Bauer gone, Cleveland will shell out just one lofty arbitration raise to Francisco Lindor.

Jason Kipnis is off the books, leaving the Tribe with just four players who will make more than $10 million in 2020: Lindor, Corey Kluber, Carlos Carrasco, and Carlos Santana. Meanwhile, the Indians have a core of very talented young players in Jose Ramirez, Oscar Mercado, Franmil Reyes, Shane Bieber, and Mike Clevinger all locked up in varying team-friendly financial situations.
