Two teams that were very nearly World Series partners were, instead, trading partners on Friday. The Indians and Rockies completed a deal in which the Tribe will receive utility infielder Jamey Carroll in exchange for a player to be named later. With the trade, which was officially announced on Saturday, the Indians filled up their last vacant position for 2008, and the Rockies freed up some payroll. Carroll, 33, will be in the final year of a two-year contract and will make $2.3 million next season. The Indians will assume what remains of his 2008 salary and will have a club option on him for '09. Though the Indians already have Andy Marte and Josh Barfield as potential depth options at third base and second base respectively, they pinpointed a utility infielder with range up the middle and a little speed on the basepaths as a need for '08.
