Cleveland Indians: Five players to watch in Double-A or below

Josh Wolf

Coming to Cleveland as part of the Lindor trade, Josh Wolf will have a chance to show fans of the Cleveland Indians what he can do. A second round pick during the 2019 MLB Draft by the New York Mets out of St. Thomas High School in Houston, Wolf is a 6-foot-3 right-handed pitcher who enters the season at just 20-years old.

Since being drafted, Wolf has made just five appearances as a member of a major league club, all being during rookie ball in 2019. Despite the limited exposure beyond high school, the Tribe made sure to get Wolf in the Lindor deal and he now enters his first minor league season as the No. 10 prospect in the organization.

While Wolf won’t be in the majors this year, or really anywhere close, seeing how he pans out will be an interesting story for Tribe fans. The other players that we’ve witnessed from the Lindor trade have been a bit underwhelming. If Wolf can start performing well, the sting from the Lindor deal will lessen just a bit. Even if Lindor isn’t playing well in New York, it still hurts to see him in a different uniform while the return from the trade struggles.
