The Indians and Danny Salazar, Could the Tribe Bring Him Back in 2020? Should They?

Danny Salazar is just 29 years old, a Major League Baseball player who should be entering the prime of his career.

Instead, the starting pitcher is waiting for what’s next in his career, one that has had nothing but speed bumps since almost the moment he was named an American League All-Star in July of 2016.

That season, the same season that saw the Indians get to game seven of the World Series, Salazar was 11-3 after going 6.2 against the Royals, allowing two earned runs in an eventual Indians 7-3 victory.

It seems like since then all Indians fans have been waiting for is for Salazar to return back to form, as the last three seasons have been as frustrating as ever waiting on the promise of a pitcher the franchise had such high hopes for.
