It seems like Cleveland could simply sign Jose Iglesias and likely get similar production to what they would probably get out of Swanson. So yeah, I'm not so sure Swanson holds a ton of value to them. May be a 3 team trade where Swanson goes somewhere like the Yankees or Brewers. The Indians will want several controllable assets that are major league ready. I imagine, any trade starts and ends with Pache, regardless if Swanson is included or not. Maybe there is hope they value Riley highly and he could be a centerpiece (I would guess not).
