Neither Nick Swisher nor Jeff Samardzija is reportedly part of the conversation, however.
Rumors that the Oakland Athletics will trade Brandon Moss to the Cleveland Indians continue to swirl as we approach next week's Winter Meetings in San Diego. Paul Hoynes of the Cleveland Plain Dealer:
#Indians guardedly optimistic that trade for Oakland's Brandon Moss will get done. Timetable to be determined.

@RickyC330 Like Swisher, he's not part of the conversation.

On Wednesday evening, Jane Lee of mlb.com expanded the list of possible suitors for Moss:
Hearing that the Indians aren't the only team in on Moss. Either way, nothing appears imminent, though that could quickly change of course.
— Jane Lee (@JaneMLB) December 4, 2014 In agreeing to terms with Ike Davis and avoiding arbitration at Tuesday's non-tender deadline, first base could be manned by a platoon of Davis against right-handed pitching and Billy Butler against left-handed pitching, with Butler the designated hitter against righties. Moss mostly played in the corner outfield in the second half of the season, but Oakland at present has several other outfield options including Josh Reddick, Craig Gentry, Sam Fuld, Coco Crisp, and Stephen Vogt.
