What do the Cleveland Indians do with Mike Clevinger?
It’s a question I asked myself upon hearing Monday night’s news. Upon hearing that Clevinger joined fellow starter Zach Plesac for a night out in Chicago Saturday, breaking MLB health and safety protocols.
That Clevinger failed to admit he did as much even after Plesac was sent home to quarantine.
That he hung out in the clubhouse and flew back to Cleveland with teammates Sunday before being exiled, as well.
So, I ask again — what does Cleveland do here?
One day later, I still don’t know the answer. All I do know is Clevinger made a massive mistake, and there’s no denying the fact it’s significantly complicated his place in the clubhouse.
