If the Cleveland Indians are hoping to acquire Jonathan Lucroy from the Milwaukee Brewers, a potential roadblock could exist in the form of the All-Star catcher's no-trade clause.

Here's a potential twist to Jonathan Lucroy trade talks: He has a limited no-trade clause that allows him to block deals to 8 teams.

Jerry Crasnick's take: Cleveland is the most noteworthy team on that list. The provision in Lucroy's contract doesn't preclude a trade, but it's an additional obstacle the Indians would have to surmount.
