Hafner contract talk fuels Indians bid to re sign
The Cleveland Indians face a tight budget scene as speculation swirls about Travis Hafner re signing a long term deal while CC Sabathia likely seeks a big free agent payout. Hafner remains the club s top run producer, and the team fears losing both stars to bigger offers next season. Sabathia leads the majors with 12 wins and a 3.20 ERA, fueling talk he will depart Dolan s payroll. Martinez earns an All Star nod the public vote could add another Indians name to San Francisco rosters.

Indians seek consistency as midseason arrives
The Indians sit atop the Central at game No. 81, thanks to steady performance across the lineup. Manager Eric Wedge praises the club's balance despite weather delays and injuries to Westbrook, Lee, and Sowers, noting improvements in defense and timely hitting led by Victor Martinez and Travis Hafner, with Francisco delivering a walk off debut start and young prospects like Matt Miller and Bo Greenwell reaching the majors pipeline.

Sabathia Tames Rays as Indians Grab Lead in Central
CC Sabathia pitched through five scoreless innings before Cleveland's offense surged, four first-half runs helping to beat J.P Howell and Tampa Bay. Grady Sizemore sparked the offense with a two-run second-inning bloop single, while Victor Martinez and Sizemore each had three hits. The Indians out-hit the Rays 15-9 and moved one game up on Detroit for the Central lead as Sizemore and Martinez powered a multi-hit attack.
