Indians, others in on Pearce
The Indians are inquiring about Rays infielder Steve Pearce, as are several other teams, according to a report by the New York Post's Joel Sherman.
The 33-year-old Pearce, who is batting .312 with 10 home runs and 29 RBIs in 58 games this season and has the ability to play multiple positions, is "very likely" to be traded before Monday's Deadline.
According to Sherman, Cleveland is prioritizing acquiring a player who can hit left-handed pitching well. Pearce, a right-hander with some power, has posted a slash line of .377/.476/.736 against lefties this season. His career slash line against left-handers is .273/.356/.504.
