CLEVELAND, Ohio – Monday's trade deadline is approaching and the Indians continue to churn the waters in search of help for their offense and bullpen.
It's believed their talks with Milwaukee concerning catcher Jonathan Lucroy and some of their late-inning relievers have gained momentum, but a deal is not imminent. The Brewers continue to talk to several other teams about the same players.
It appears Milwaukee is trying to package Lucroy and a reliever such as left-hander Will Smith. The Brewers are looking for at least two top prospects, with an emphasis on pitching, and a couple of other players for such a package.
