our team, but also the contributions he made in our community over the past three years,” said
Cleveland Indians Chairman/CEO PAUL DOLAN. “I fully support Chris’ decision to make
this change and am confident that he will lead a tireless search to find the right individual to
lead the club to our ultimate goal of winning the World Series.”
