Francisco Lindor has agreed to a one-year, $17.5 million deal with the Indians. Lindor will have the opportunity to earn more in awards bonuses.

This was expected after reports earlier this week indicating a reunion with Cleveland was in the works. This is good news for Lindor's 2020 fantasy outlook as he remains in one of the league's better offensive lineups. The star shortstop will be under team control again in 2021 before reaching free agency.

Cleveland Indians president of baseball operations Chris Antonetti has said on multiple occasions that he expects the 26-year-old shortstop to be with the team on Opening Day. Antonetti reiterated that stance on Wednesday. "I have never had a different expectation other than Francisco will be our shortstop Opening Day," Antonetti said. "That was my expectation as the season ended. That’s still my expectation as I’m sitting here today."

The shortstop is a two-time Gold Glove Award winner and has topped the 30-homer mark in each of the past three seasons. Remaining in a potent lineup like the Indians' should lead to more of the same, though Lindor has the talent to be a strong fantasy asset wherever he ultimately ends up.

The Dodgers' "top priority" is still to trade for Indians shortstop Francisco Lindor.

The Dodgers are looking to make a splash this offseason, as they've also recently been tied to Red Sox OF Mookie Betts. Lindor will remain a top fantasy asset regardless of the lineup surroudning him, but he would certainly see a boost by joining the talented Dodgers' offense.
