Indians acquired RHP Kevin Slowey from the Rockies for RHP Zach Putnam.

Slowey never threw a pitch for the Rockies, but that’s probably a good thing considering his extreme fly ball tendencies. While he’s coming off an awful year where he posted a 6.67 ERA over 59 1/3 innings at the major league level, the prospect of making half his starts at the pitcher-friendly Progressive Field sets the stage for a nice bounceback. He’ll serve as rotation depth in case Fausto Carmona (Roberto Hernandez Heredia) isn’t granted entry into the United States for the start of the season.

According to Jon Paul Morosi of FOXSports.com, the Indians have acquired right-hander Kevin Slowey from the Rockies for right-hander Zach Putnam.

Sounds like the Indians are bracing for the possibility that Fausto Carmona (otherwise known as Roberto Hernandez Heredia) might not be ready for the start of the season. The Rockies just acquired Slowey from the Twins in December after he posted a 6.67 ERA over 59 1/3 innings last season. He avoided arbitration last week by agreeing to a one-year, $2.75 million contract. On the bright side, Progressive Field is a much better place for him to get back on track than Coors Field.

Rockies and RHP Kevin Slowey avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year contract.

Terms weren’t disclosed. Slowey, who was acquired from the Twins last week, earned $2.7 million this past season while posting a 6.67 ERA and 34/5 K/BB ratio over 59 1/3 innings. The 27-year-old right-hander is expected to compete for a rotation spot during spring training.

Rockies acquired RHP Kevin Slowey from the Twins for a player to be named later.

Slowey went 0-8 with a 6.67 ERA in 59 1/3 innings this past season for the Twins. He’s had success in the past and his failures in 2011 had much to do with injuries, but we’d bet against him suddenly bouncing back in Colorado. The right-hander is entering his second year of salary arbitration.

According to ESPN’s Buster Olney, the Twins have made it known that Kevin Slowey is available.

If the Twins are unable to deal Slowey at this week’s Winter Meetings, they’ll likely non-tender him later this winter. The 27-year-old right-hander posted a 0-8 record and 6.67 ERA across 59 1/3 innings in 2011.

Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com writes that there’s a “very good chance” that Kevin Slowey will be non-tendered.

Slowey made $2.7 million this season while going 0-8 with a 6.67 ERA and 34/5 K/BB ratio over 59 1/3 innings. It’s possible the Twins could find a trade partner, but the 27-year-old right-hander is likely to draw more interest as a free agent.
