KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Jeff Manship looked shaken. Bryan Shaw looked dismissive as the bumpy season of the Indians' bullpen continued Monday night with a bad loss to the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium.
It is the main reason why Indians are trying hard to add a proven reliever before the Aug. 1 deadline for making trades without waivers. A Yankee scout has been following them on the first two legs of this three-city trip.
Yankee scouts are also reportedly checking out the Indians' minor league system. New York has three back-end relievers in Dellin Betances, Andrew Miller and Aroldis Chapman.
