The Indians are focused on signing free-agent reliever John Axford, FOX Sports reports.
Axford would presumably close for the Indians if he signs with the team. He saved 105 games from 2010 through 2012 but didn't record any saves last season while going 7-7 with a 4.02 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 65:26 K:BB ratio in 65 innings between the Brewers and Cardinals.
