The Cleveland Legends signed Rookie Francisco Lindor (87) on June 10. He did not immediately take over at SS or 2B, however, as Omar Vizquel and Carlos Baerga have been playing very well — Baerga and Jim Thome were the team's two All Stars. Thome, Baerga, Vizquel and Michael Brantley lead the everyday starters with +.282 batting averages.

Of course, Cleveland sits 6.5 games back in the division with a middling 47-48 record. We can't score runs or keep other teams from scoring — 10th in the conference in both stats, despite having a top-4 offense in every other offensive category outside of Home Runs.

Wes Ferrell leads pitchers with a 9-6 record and 3.59 ERA. Brad Hand has plummeted this season after a solid 2024 season. He's got a 1-8 record with 21 saves and a 5.06 ERA, and 4 blown saves.

Lindor has played nearly every day between 2nd, SS and 3rd, and is hitting .309/.382/.368.

The team currently sits at 2,206 PP, with an eye toward bolstering the pitching staff soon.
