Indians cut ties with Borowski
One season after leading the American League in saves, and nine months after striking out Jorge Posada at Yankee Stadium to clinch the Division Series for the Cleveland Indians, closer Joe Borowski was looking for work.

They have posted three consecutive losing seasons, and their prospects for competing in the NL West appear slim among younger, more talented clubs.
