It looks like the Indians are going to need some help if they plan to remain in the race with the Tigers for the AL Central. The starting pitching has performed well beyond expectations, but they'll need another solid arm in the roation that will help them down the stretch.
Now that Matt Garza is off the table, as he finalizes a deal with Texas, the Indians could be in the market for Houston Astros pitcher Bud Norris. ESPN's Jerry Crasnick suggests Norris could be a fit for the Tribe.

Some potential Norris fits: #sfgiants, #indians, #nationals, #dodgers, #redsox, #pirates, #rangers if they don't get Garza.

Local reporters say the Indians aren't interested in Norris and are not one of the teams currently scouting the former starter.
