Next Man Gone: Who Will The Tribe Trade Next?
Next Man Gone: Who Will The Tribe Trade Next?
Over the weekend, the Cleveland Indians started the process of what many believe is their fire sale to end their 2009 season. Mark Shapiro and company believe that there is still a sliver of hope, because they traded from a deep spot to improve on a weak one and did it with major league talent.
