At this point, it seems like the Cleveland Indians could be sellers at the trade deadline, but anything could happen. Whether they’re buyers or sellers, here are five Cleveland players who could be on the move in July.

5. IF Lonnie Chisenhall

Lonnie Chisenhall has always been something of an anomaly for the Indians. He has tons of potential and has shown flashes of it, but he has never quite put everything together. If there's a team out there that wants to take the chance on his potential, they could decide to deal him for prospects.

4. OF Brandon Moss

Brandon Moss was just acquired this past offseason and he could be flipped for prospects pretty quickly. That's one way of rebuilding a team and if someone is looking for a nice outfield bat to add to their lineup, Moss might be toward the top of their list.

3. OF Michael Bourn

Michael Bourn was signed to a big deal a couple years ago, but if the team could ship him off if a team values his speed enough. In the current state of this team, no veterans are off limits. That means Bourn could be on the move in July.

2. 2B Jason Kipnis

Jason Kipnis made a name for himself in Cleveland, but he may soon be playing baseball outside the city. He's carries the type of veteran bat that many teams covet down the stretch of the season, and that's why there will be a lot of interest in him in July. As always, if the price is right, he will be gone.

1. DH Nick Swisher

The Indians would love to be able to get rid of Nick Swisher and his oversized contract, but it's going to be tough to do. If they get a deal done, it will likely have to involve another quality player or prospect in order to get another team to take on his oversized contract. Either that or the Indians will have to eat most of his salary.
