Paul Hoynes of the Cleveland Plain-Dealer writes that Matt LaPorta's career with the Indians could be over. LaPorta, 28, became a minor league free agent earlier this month and it's unclear whether the Indians intend to bring him back. The former top prospect was limited to 57 games in the minors this season after hip surgery and owns a disappointing .238/.301/.393 batting line in the majors.
