Swisher (knees) rejoined his teammates Wednesday, and he expects to be ready for the start of spring training in February, the Associated Press reports. The issues with both knees undoubtedly had an impact on Swisher's performance, as he tried to play through the pain and amassed a career-worst .208/.278/.331 line with just eight homers in 360 at-bats. He'll look to bounce back in Year 3 of a four-year, $56 million pact signed with Cleveland prior to the 2013 campaign.
