Indians Rewards

Terry Francona and Carlos Santana saw the Indians pick up their options today:

The Cleveland Indians exercised two future contract options on manager Terry Francona, who is under contract with the club through 2020.

The 57-year-old Francona managed the Indians to the World Series for the first time since 1997. Two years ago, he signed a two-year contract extension, which included club options for 2019 and 2020.

As expected, the club also picked up slugger Carlos Santana’s $12 million option. He hit 34 homers this season.

Francona kept the Indians over-achieving to within one game of a World Championship. Now he gets to build on that and break the Cleveland drought.
