Time with Cleveland ends
The Indians released Baron on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Baron had been included in Cleveland's 60-man roster pool in early July, but he failed to receive a promotion from the alternate site at any point during the 2020 season. The 29-year-old catcher is now free to pursue opportunities with other organizations.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2017
2016
It's hard to believe if you just look at his career numbers, but Baron was actually a supplemental first-round draft pick back in 2009. He managed to make his major league debut with the Mariners in 2015, but things didn't go quite as well in 2016. Due to the restocking the Mariners did last offseason, Baron was relegated to the depths of Double-A Jackson, and although he slashed .280/.377/.358, he also struck out over 20 percent of the time. The success he did have is also mitigated by the fact that he was older than most of his counterparts. Baron's lack of power and high propensity to strike out will likely keep him in an organizational depth role moving forward, especially now that Carlos Ruiz was added to the fold along with Mike Zunino and Jesus Sucre.
