Lexington’s own Austin Kearns could end up with a world championship ring.
The Cleveland Indians have traded the former Lafayette High School star to the New York Yankees tonight.
Cleveland Plain Dealer’s Paul Hoynes has the story.
Indians’ manager Manny Acta told Hoynes: “”I’ve got a soft spot for this guy,” said manager Manny Acta. “He played for me in Washington and he came to camp this spring for the first time without a guaranteed job. He made the club and he carried this club for about a month or so when Grady Sizemore got hurt and some of our other older guys weren’t performing. I’m glad he’s getting a chance to go to a contender at this stage of his career and maybe win a ring.”
Marc Carig of the Newark Star-Ledger has the Yankee angle on the Kearns trade.
