With less than an hour left until the MLB Trade Deadline, the Cleveland Indians made a move for a familiar relief pitcher.
The Indians acquired Joe Smith from the Toronto Blue Jays according to Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com.

This year with the Blue Jays, Smith was 3-0 with a 3.28 ERA, appeared in 38 games putting in 35.2 innings of work, and struck out 51 batters.
Joe Smith will more than likely be a rental for the rest of the 2017 season with the Indians because he is a free agent in 2018.
