After a season in which he took the team to within a game of winning a title, the Indians made another easy move on Friday, as they have exercised a pair of club options on manager Terry Francona.

What that means is that Francona, who has led the team to two playoff appearances in the four seasons with the teams, will be with the team through the 2020 season.

The Tribe is 352-294 with Francona in charge.

The contract for Francona was set to expire at the end of the 2018 campaign, but after the success the team has had over his tenure, locking him up is the right move.
