Cleveland Indians put Trevor Bauer in bullpen, but arrangement can't last for long

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Welcome to the bullpen Trevor Bauer. They don't have a nickname or T-shirts like The Bullpen Mafia of the past. What they do have is the look of a New York subway train at rush hour.

It's packed in there. Eight relievers, bullpen coach Jason Bere and a couple of catchers. Who gets squatter's rights for the warmest seat in the pen come opening day Monday at Progressive Field?

Ross Detwiler and Joba Chamberlain made the pen as spring-training invitees. Jeff Manship did the same thing last year, although he didn't break camp with the team.
