The Indians are less than 24 hours from their game seven setback in 10 innings to the Chicago Cubs, but already roster moves appear to be under way.

One move that will be made that doesn't come as a shock is the team will pickup up the $12 team option on DH/1B Carlos Santana.

Santana hit .259 with a career high 34 homers for the Tribe in 2016, and hit 3 homers in the postseason.

With the future of the team and Mike Napoli in question, bringing back Santana and even looking at a long term deal with him was an expected move.
