2020 Cleveland Indians season

The 2020 Cleveland Indians season was the 120th season for the franchise. It was the eighth season under the leadership of manager Terry Francona and fifth under general manager Mike Chernoff. The Indians play their home games at Progressive Field in Cleveland, Ohio. They made the playoffs after missing them in 2019 and improved upon their previous year's record of 93–69. They were swept out of the playoffs, losing both games of the ALWCS to the New York Yankees, extending their postseason losing streak to eight games.
On March 12, 2020, MLB announced that because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the start of the regular season would be delayed by at least two weeks in addition to the remainder of spring training being cancelled. Four days later, it was announced that the start of the season would be pushed back indefinitely due to the recommendation made by the CDC to restrict events of more than 50 people for eight weeks. On June 23, commissioner Rob Manfred unilaterally implemented a 60-game season. Players reported to training camps on July 1 in order to participate in "summer camp" and prepare for a July 24 Opening Day.
