CLEVELAND — For some time, the Indians have known that, eventually, there would be a day in which Shin-Soo Choo would likely don another franchise’s uniform.

The Indians moderately long regional nightmare is over: they played the Twins today. They won 6-2. And they ended the 11 game losing streak.

Stew lieutenant David Brown has shifted to Arizona, and his desert swing took him Sunday to Goodyear, home to (among another) the Cleveland Indians. The Tribe is still looking to fill Victor Martinez’s(notes) chest protector with a replacement after last season’s deadline deal with the Boston Red Sox.
