Bauer to be a ‘wild card’ for Tribe out of ‘pen

Indians manager Terry Francona has never been afraid to be creative with his bullpen use on the October stage, but he still usually prefers to have an end point. Cody Allen, Cleveland’s all-time saves leader, has typically filled that role. Things will be different this postseason. Not only does Francona not have one pitcher locked in as the main closer, but the manager also has dubbed pitcher Trevor Bauer a “wild card” for the relief corps.
