The Cleveland Indians are hanging on to All-Star shortstop Francisco Lindor.
"I still have every expectation that Francisco will be our shortstop Opening Day," team president Chris Antonetti told reporters on Wednesday. "I'm more confident today in saying that as more of the offseason has passed. But that's still our expectation."
The Indians confirmed Tuesday that Lindor will be at the team's Tribe Fest in Cleveland on Feb. 1. That was seen as a significant announcement because the 26-year-old has been linked to the Los Angeles Dodgers in trade rumors throughout the offseason.
