Oakland A's trade rumors: Indians reportedly interested in LHP Marc Rzepczynski

The Cleveland Indians are interested in the services of left-handed reliever Marc Rzepczynski, according to Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle. The A's are currently playing the Indians this weekend, so as Slusser notes there is the potential for one of those deals in which the player just has to walk across to the opposing clubhouse -- much like Ricardo Rincon did with these same two teams in 2002 (but in the other direction).

The 30-year-old Rzepczynski is the definition of a journeyman, having pitched for five teams so far during his eight-year career. In particular, he has been traded at the deadline three times since 2011 -- Jays to Cards in 2011, Cards to Indians in 2013, Indians to Padres in 2015.
