Indians have called about Nick Swisher

by Matt S.

According to Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com, the Indians are one of several teams who have called the Yankees to inquire about Nick Swisher.  We’ve heard that the Indians are pursuing every hitter on the market aside from Prince Fielder, so it’s not surprising they would call. However, the Yankees are not inclined to move him as they don’t have a competent in-house replacement for right field. Swisher’s $10.25 million club option for 2012 was exercised in late-October.
