'potentially instant', i love it. Way to go out on a limb, sounds like something Skip Bayless would say. You can say that about any team if they make the right moves. The Astros are instant ontenders if their young talent pans out. My aunt is potentially instantly' my uncle if she has a sex change. Some of these talking heads blow my mind.Someone called them potential instant favorites in the Central. Color me skeptical on that one.
Joel Sherman: Dodgers have made 2B Dee Gordon available.
Indians had a real interest in him a while back. I think they planned on converting him into a CF.....
Justin Upton linked to Cleveland? Any chance ATL takes back either Bourn/Swish with a prospect?
"@JonHeymanCBS: justin upton no-trade::tor, clev, milw, cubs. clev is 1 of a few teams linked. 2 yrs ago sea was on list, & he nixed deal."

I'd take Gordon in a heartbeat. Not sure what we'd offer LA though.
Does anyone have a ballpark number on what the Indians have to play with money wise based on their usual payroll range?
After you factor in arbitration, probably not much.
They'll most likely try and rid themselves of David Murphy, so that would wipe out another $7M, but I see them adding maybe one or two more low-level pitchers.
Maybe waiting out the market and finding someone early in 2015 for the rotation.
