The Cleveland Indians have acquired Brandon Moss from the Oakland Athletics for minor leaguer Joey Wendle.
The 31-year-old Moss batted .234 with a 25 homers and 81 RBIs in a
career-high 147 games for the A's. The left-handed hitter drew 67 walks
and scored 70 runs. Moss hit .268 with 21 homers in the first half of
the season to earn his first All-Star selection, but a nagging hip
problem cut into his production.
Infielder Joey Wendle hit .253 for Double A Akron last season.
