The Indians acquired right-hander Kevin Slowey from the Rockies on Friday for minor league reliever Zach Putnam and cash considerations. Cleveland general manager Chris Antonetti claimed the deal was not a direct reaction to Fausto Carmona's arrest in the Dominican Republic on charges the pitcher falsified his identity to play in the U.S. However, the timing of the trade seems to indicate the Indians don't know if they'll have Carmona this season.
