The Oakland Athletics’ recent trade for Jed Lowrie has created an excess of infielders on the A’s roster. Both Brett Lawrie and Danny Valencia have been hot trade topics, with several teams reportedly inquiring about them.
One club that might match up well with the A’s is the Cleveland Indians, who are looking to deal part of one of the league’s best rotations in an effort to improve their struggling offense. Although they have the runner-up Rookie of the Year at shortstop in Francisco Lindor, as well as an All-Star second baseman in Jason Kipnis, the Indians are in need of improvements at the corner infield positions.
