In 1971, the Indians traded ace Sam McDowell to the San Francisco Giants in exchange for Gaylord Perry.

Luckily for fans in Cleveland, Perry made the swap look well worthwhile. In 1972, his first season with the indians, Perry led MLB with 24 wins, alongside a 1.92 ERA in 41 games. His 690 career starts rank Perry second all-time, behind Cy Young. A five-time All-Star, Perry was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1991.

Six-foot-3 left hander Cliff Lee began his career with the Cleveland Indians in 2002. In 2005, Lee had a breakout year on the bump, tossing 202 innings, and finishing the year with an ERA of 3.79 across 32 starts. In 2008, Lee's 22 wins led the league, as did his 2,54 starter ERA. In 2009, the Indians traded Lee to the Philadelphia Phillies, which would be the team he would retire with in 2014.

Corey Kluber was an absolute machine during his time in Cleveland. The 2014 AL Cy Young Award winner, Kluber was also instrumental in the Indians' 2016 World Series push. Although the Indians would come up short, Kluber went 2-0 against the Chicago Cubs in the Fall Classic, striking 15 hitters in 16 innings.

In 2018, fresh off his second Cy Young Award, Kluber amassed 20 wins across a legaue-best 215 innings pitched that year.
