Even if the Indians were given a 100% guarantee that 2022 Cesar would produce at his 2020 numbers, I think they decline that option because of the young players they have in the near future.
If they want a veteran stop gap, the following guys signed minor league deals last offseason at 1/4 of Cesar's 2022 option: Joe Panik, Brock Holt, Jed Lowrie, Asdrubal Cabrera, Charlie Culberson. All those guys get thrown back into the FA pool next season along with guys like Starlin Castro, Jonathan Schoop, Brad Miller, Donovan Solano, Wilmer Flores, Josh Harrison.
