Your 2018 Cleveland Indians

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
I was under the impression that the Indians only had Carrasco through 2019. But articles from his signing back in April 2015 report there is another club option for 2020, which Spotrac indicates is for $9.5m

Did that 2020 option did nixed or something or do the Indians have him for the 2020 season?

We actually have him through 2021, there are team option years in 2020 and 2021

EDIT: This is what fangraphs said, I think they are a year off

Pretty sure there’s still the 2020 option.
 
Team options in 2019 ($9m) and 2020 ($9.5m), per Baseball Reference
 
Looks like fangraphs is a year off from all other outlets in regards to Carrasco's contract

Odd...

I'd trust spotrac and baseball reference
 
Through April 20, 17 games:
Jose Ramirez: .188 / .316 / .375 with 4 HR and 8 RBI
Francisco Lindor: .205 / .275 / .356 with 2 HR and 7 RBI

April 21 - present, 36 games for each:
Jose Ramirez: .350 / .430 / .741 with 13 HR and 32 RBI
Francisco Lindor: .347 / .421 / .627 with 10 HR and 23 RBI

Jose Ramirez is hitting .300 but his BABIP is only .271, that's fucking incredible
 
Early in the season BABIP was fucking killing him

Sure was. I believe I highlighted it in my April recap.

If that BABIP normalizes to his typical level, he could have a historic season.
 
What should our expectations be for Mr. Shane Bieber tonight and going forward??

I'm expecting 15-20 Ks, no BB, and obviously no runs. Complete game, naturally.

Going forward, a cross between Maddux and Randy Johnson.

Randy Johnson is simply unfair, he doesn't have that unworldly stuff. I was thinking more a mix of Greg Maddux and Early Wynn, with a hint of- you guessed it- Bob Feller.
