An Early Look (and Guess) on What the Indians Do with Their 2019 Free Agents

4. Melky Cabrera

Cabera quietly had a very nice season playing in right field with the Indians, hitting .280 by the time it was all said and done, hitting 6 homers and driving in 39 runs.

He was rushed to the big league roster and then released, but the team was able to get him back and after a little more time in Columbus, he finally had his timing back on his swing and it showed in the second half with some big hits.

Cabrera came to the Tribe on the cheap, one-year at one million, trying to prove at 34 years old he could still be an asset to a team in their outfield.

He proved it with the Indians, and there’s nothing to think the team won’t try and work with him to try and give him say a two-year deal worth about $4 million with the outfield in such flux heading into 2019.

Early Guess – Here’s one player the team can afford, and I think they will, getting him back with a two-year deal worth about $3-4 million.
