Indians Rumors: Kotchman, Carmona, Sizemore

By Ben Nicholson-Smith | January 27, 2011 at 1:49pm CDT

On this date five years ago, the Indians sent Arthur Rhodes to the Phillies for Jason Michaels and traded Josh Bard, Coco Crisp, David Riske and a player to be named later to the Red Sox for Andy Marte, Guillermo Mota, Kelly Shoppach and cash. January 27th 2011 doesn't figure to be quite as eventful for the Tribe, but you never know. Here are some Indians links…

  • The Indians are interested in Casey Kotchman on a minor league deal, according to Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports (Twitter link).
  • The Nationals reportedly inquired on Fausto Carmona and Grady Sizemore, but ESPN.com's Buster Olney and Paul Hoynes of the Cleveland Plain Dealer both hear that the Nationals have not discussed such a trade with the Indians (Twitter links). Olney says the Nationals haven't called the Indians 'at all' about such a move.
  • The Indians are looking for bargains and would like to upgrade their rotation and infield, according to Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports (on Twitter). The team inquired on Kevin Millwood earlier in the month.
  • MLB.com's Jordan Bastian reports that some free agent relievers were hesitant to join the Indians this offseason because the Tribe has a number of promising young relievers.

    Really? How? We got a starting young pitcher in Mitch Talbot for Shoppach. Not to mention Shoppach outperformed Crisp (6.3 WAR to 4.1) for the years both were with the Indians and Sox respectively. Unless you mean we got taken to the wood shed on that blockbuster Rhodes for Michaels deal?

      As long as we can trade you Blake back for another top prospect like Santana at the trade deadline!

    Damn Kotchmans stock has fallen that far. I remember the hype surrounding him when he came up. Ah… what never was.

      Hype rarely equals reality, DC.
