Fantasy Impact:

The club has the intention of declining Hand's $10 million option if he goes unclaimed. If a team claims Hand then Cleveland won't be responsible for his $1 million buyout. The 30-year-old closer posted a 2.05 ERA with a 0.77 WHIP in 23 appearances last season. $10 million is a very reasonable cost for that type of performance, but many MLB teams are going to be looking to cut costs following the shortened 2020 campaign.
