It's something everyone expected, but didn't want to admit: the Indians and Francisco Lindor are no closer to agreeing to an extension than they have been. That was the sentiment when the All-Star shortstop announced to the media this week that negotiations were put on hold for the season. So the question is where do the Indians go from here? Do they start considering a trade? Can they still remain competitive after he's no longer on the roster? These are questions I try to address in this week's Byte Sized Baseball Cast.

Cactus League play has officially kicked off, which means we're another step closer to the 2020 regular season.

Plus, I give my top three prospects who could make an MLB impact in 2020 and wax nostalgic on Lonnie Chisenhall's career in Cleveland in the wake of his retirement announcement.
