Cleveland Indians have become a major player as the trading deadline looms...with Toronto asking for your blood in their demands for Roy Halladay, the Indians may be the beneficiary...

Talk on the internet states that the Philadelphia Phillies are interested in Indians pitcher Cliff Lee...what makes this possible deal intriguing for the Phils is that they don't have to give up their top pitching prospects in J.A. Happ nor Kyle Drabek...

There are also reports the Los Angeles Dodgers are talking to the Indians in a blockbuster deal...supposedly the Dodgers will send either Chad Billingsley or Clayton Kershaw along with James Loney, and prospects to Cleveland for Cliff Lee and Victor Martinez...talk is that Joe Torre would like to have a veteran in his rotation for the playoffs...

Supposedly the Indians have another offer from the San Francisco Giants...the Giants would send prospects to Cleveland for Lee...
