MLB Reports

The Indians hosted the Wild Card Play in Game for the right to play Boston in the ALDS, but were ultimately ousted by the Tampa Bay Rays. Now minus several pieces from last years team, they turn to their franchise depth in hopes of another playoff berth in 2014. The club ended the year on a 10 game winning streak and extended it by 1 in the Season Opener at Oakland. The Indians are pretty much hanging with ‘status quo’ among their franchise this winter. They have also lost Scott Kazmir, and potentially Ubaldo Jimenez to Free Agency as well, Of course Joe Smith signed with the Angels and they released Chris Perez, so other than Terry Francona winning the Manager of The Year in the AL, it hasn’t been a banner offseason in Cleveland thus far.
