The Colorado Rockies announced a trade yesterday, dealing pitcher Esmil Rogers to the Cleveland Indians for cash considerations. The Rockies had designated Rogers for assignment last Saturday, removing him from the 40-man roster. The 26 year-old righthander had been erratic in a relief role this season, posting an 8.06 ERA in 23 appearances. Rogers leaves Colorado with a 6.77 career ERA in 70 games.
