October 8, 2024 - Northwest League (NWL)
Spokane Indians News Release
If you turned on a Major League Baseball game in 2024, there's a pretty good chance you saw a former Spokane Indians player in action. A total of 47 alums spread across 25 teams made at last one appearance in the big leagues this season, including 15 with the team's parent club (Colorado Rockies). Included among the former players are multiple All-Stars, league leaders, and presumptive Gold Glove winners. Some, like Jordan Beck and Seth Halvorsen, were playing at Avista Stadium less than a year before while others, like Atlanta Braves reliever Jesse Chavez, last suited up for the Indians over two decades ago.
