Jake Westbrook Trade Rumors: Could Indians deal their Opening Day starter?

By Allan

Nick Cafardo of The Boston Globe suggests that Cleveland Indians’ Opening Day starter Jake Westbrook could be a trade deadline candidate. Teams that need a front of the rotation right-handed could be interested in making a deal for Westbrook.

The Diamondbacks have been trying to add depth to their starting rotation since starting pitcher Brandon Webb may be out until at least the end of April.

Westbrook has been looking good this Spring and looks to be healthy despite two years removed from Tommy John surgery.

Westbrook, 32, won 44 games from 2004-06 and will earn $11 million in the final year of a three-year, $33 million deal.
