Players Who Could Go
Asdrubal Cabrera - He's a free agent after this season, the Indians have a stud shortstop waiting in the wings who will likely be ready by July, and he still might be able to net something of value. He's the one Indian who could get dealt regardless of where they're at in the standings.
Justin Masterson - He's a free agent as well, but far more important to this year's team. If the Indians are contending, they'll simply hang on to him and give him a QO this winter.
Players Who Could Be On the Radar
Michael Cuddyer - Good hitter, right-handed who hits LHP well, can play OF and 1B, veteran leader, familiar with the AL Central - seems like the perfect addition to the Indians. It might come down to the Rockies' asking price.
Mike Adams - On a last place team and a free agent at year's end, he looks likely to be dealt. He's a solid setup guy if healthy, and the Indians will need an additional bullpen arm or two.
Jesse Crain - Houston might not ask for a ton (assuming he comes back healthy)
Matt Albers - See Jesse Crain...also, familiar with team
Aramis Ramirez - Another perfect fit for this team but with Milwaukee in 1st Place, a trade seems unlikely.
Corey Hart - Has battled injuries but he is a RH power bat that would help against LHP...might not cost a ton either.
Jason Hammel - Chicago will certainly be looking to deal him, the price shouldn't be outrageous, and he's a solid starting pitcher should one of our starters go down.
Chase Headley - He has a decent bat and Gold Glove-caliber defense, but his price tag might be too rich for what the Indians would likely offer for a free agent-to-be.
Jeff Samardzija - The Cubs will be asking for a lot and he's already said he's going for top dollar which makes his acquisition unlikely
