In the last couple days, the New York Yankees have added a pair of arms to their pitching staff; the Red Sox snatched up Nathan Eovaldi. As the deadline approaches, more names are sure to fly to other contenders, bolstering their lineups and rotations and bullpens for runs at the pennant.
The Indians have done some nice work on the bullpen front, though they could probably use another bat in the outfield as our own Chris Davies covered the other day. All these moves from other title contenders is a bit worrying when the Indians’ own relative inaction stares the fanbase in the face.
