Indians Reduce Roster By Nine Players
Today the Tribe continued to get the roster set for opening day with the reduction of 9 players sending them to Buffalo or other minor league camps. The biggest name to be sent down was pitcher Edward Mujica, who was one of a few going at it for a spot in the bullpen. Here is the presser from Bart and co. down in Winter Haven:
The Cleveland Indians today announced the club has reduced their spring training roster by nine (9) additional players.
