Cleveland Indians: 5 starting pitchers for Tribe to target at trade deadline
The Cleveland Indians being without starting pitching for a significant portion of the first half of the season was a bizarre-o alternate reality that no one should be in a hurry to revisit. The Tribe had less than half of their first half starts handled by the Big Three, and The Replacements have had their struggles to put it politely.
However, out of the All-Star break, Cleveland received some strong starts from Eli Morgan, Cal Quantrill and Zach Plesac to take a series win in Oakland and position themselves at 47-43, within striking distance of a Wild Card spot and not yet buried in the American League Central.
