The disappointing Cleveland Indians will trade ace Bartolo Colon to the surprising Montreal Expos for first baseman Lee Stevens in a six-player deal, The Associated Press has learned.
Indians assistant general manager Chris Antonetti confirmed Thursday night in Boston that Colon would be traded, and said the deal would be announced at 9 a.m. Friday in Cleveland. He declined to identify the other players in the trade.
However, a team source, speaking on condition he not be identified, said the Indians would send Colon and a player to be named to the Expos for Stevens and three minor league prospects -- infielder Cliff Lee, outfielder Grady Sizemore and shortstop Brandon Phillips.

The real question is
The real question is
are the tribe giving up? The season is awful young to be cutting payroll and throwing in the towel, and if so in my opinion it is the end of some great indian teams.
Who's Next Thome?
CBS Sportsline:
Boston-area newspapers say the Red Sox want an upgrade at first base, and Indians slugger Jim Thome is on their list.
"The easy solution would be if a Tony Clark would get going or a Brian Daubach would get untracked," Boston GM Mike Port said in the Boston Globe, "but as a subplot to that, we are looking around otherwise."
Thome, who can be a free agent after the season, also might be desired by the Braves, according to the Atlanta Constitution.
