Manship, who enjoyed a breakout season in 2015, still figures to fill a middle-relief role for the Indians in 2016.
Manship's price tag ($765,000) should give him a leg up on the competition in a crowded bullpen from the right side, but Cody Allen and Bryan Shaw figure to handle the late-inning work and Zach McAllister will factor into things as well. It's hard to count on a repeat performance and he'd need a lot of things to break right to enter into a more fantasy-relevant role in 2016.
