Cleveland Indians: The most interesting non-roster invitees

As the Cleveland Indians start spring training games this weekend, there are a few non-roster invitees that you should keep your eyes on.

As spring training begins for the Cleveland Indians, there are many different goals that they will be looking to accomplish before opening day. The team will look to get the starters healthy and ready to go for the long season ahead. They will be looking at many prospects and young players in the organization to monitor the progress of their development.

Some of these players will be trying to grab the last few spots on the opening day roster. Whether prospects or major league veterans, it’s a valuable time for these players. Returning most of the key contributors from a 102 win season, the Indians don’t have many available roster spots.

However, there are a few areas where depth will be critical throughout the season. The majority of the roster will be filled out with players already on the 40-man roster, but there are some positions that could be had by some non-roster invitees to spring camp. Here are some of the most interesting candidates to crack the Cleveland Indians roster in 2018.
