Recent rumors have linked the Cleveland Indians and the Texas Rangers in a potential swap of pitchers, as Nicholas D. Blazek notes. It seems as if the teams are contemplating a move that would send a starting pitcher from the Indians to the Rangers, and most of the speculation circles around Trevor Bauer and Shawn Tolleson. Other names have been mentioned on the Rangers’ side, but the general framework remains the same.
These rumors have lead Jeff Mount to ponder whether the team truly needs another relief pitcher.
