Today the Tribe officially added Austin Kearns to 40-man roster and DFAed Jordan Brown to make room for him. Rats. Jordan's a hard nosed player with a good contact stroke and gap power. He's a first class guy. Obviously, none of this mattered to the Indians.
Also, from the "who gives a crap" file, the Indians sign RHP Doug Mathis and acquire RHP Joe Martinez from the Pirates for a PTBNL. The former gets a spring invite, the latter is expected to compete for a rotation spot. Great.
