The Indians almost survived it last year
The Cleveland Indians were forced to go much of the season without the guys they were counting on. From Michael Brantley and Yan Gomes to Carlos Carrasco and Danny Salazar. The Indians were almost able to weather the storm of injuries. If it wasn’t for the Cubs, they might just have done it.
The Indians are an example of even when things go wrong, they can go right. Clearly, the Cubs aren’t looking to see if they can overcome an array of injuries like that. So let’s just hope that things work out closer to what they were last year–including the end result.
