This would be the second consecutive year that Clev would come back earlier than expected. Mike Clevinger returned from a teres major injury significantly earlier than expected last season. Cleveland needs to ensure that Clevinger is careful in his aggressive approach to recovery. What cannot happen is Clevinger suffering a setback.

The Cleveland Indians have held trade discussions with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim about starting pitcher Mike Clevinger. Mike Clevinger continues to be discussed in potential trades. Teams who didn’t sign a big time free agent pitcher are still looking to upgrade their rotation.  Going to the pitching rich Cleveland Indians is a good place to start.
