The New York Yankees are not the only team interested in trading for Colorado Rockies star pitcher Ubaldo Jimenez.
The Cleveland Indians are the latest team that has expressed an interest in the Rockies ace. But the problem is the Rockies are asking for an outrageous amount in return.
The Indians would like to make a "high-impact" trade before Sunday's trade deadline. The Indians even made a run at Carlos Beltran before he was dealt to the San Francisco Giants.
Jimenez is 6-9 this season with a 4.20 ERA in 122 innings. Jimenez had a career-year last year with a 19-8 overall mark in 221.2 innings.
He is due $4.2 million next year with a $5.75 million club option in 2013, or a $1 million buyout. He also has an $8 million club option for 2014, or a $1 million butout. But his 2014 club option will be voided by a trade, according to a clause in his contract.
