OAKLAND -- Corey Kluber was not ready to concede this season for the Indians. Sitting at his locker inside the visitors' clubhouse at the Coliseum on Thursday, the leader of Cleveland's rotation shrugged off the trades made by the team's front office over the past few days.
The way Kluber saw it, there was no correllation between the transactions and the way the team should approach the final two months of the current campaign.
"I don't think that it means that we've given up on this year," said Kluber, who won the American League Cy Young Award last year.
