The Cleveland Indians continue to be active at the trade deadline, striking a deal with the New York Yankees for reliever Andrew Miller.

FOX Sports MLB insider Ken Rosenthal reported the move Sunday morning on Twitter.

BREAKING: Andrew Miller to #Indians.

Miller, who signed with the Yankees as a free agent last season, has a 1.39 ERA and a 0.772 WHIP in 44 appearances this season.

The Indians are sending back four players, including top prospects Justus Sheffield and Clint Frazier, according to ESPN's Buster Olney.

Source confirms: #Yankees get four players from #Indians, including Sheffield and Frazier. First with those names: @Buster_ESPN.

Meanwhile, Cleveland's pending trade for Milwaukee Brewers catcher Jonathan Lucroy remains up in the air. Rosenthal says the team could be planning to go through with both deals, or that the Lucroy deal could fall apart.

As noted by @jonheyman, Miller took less to sign with #Yankees. #Astros made higher offer. Wanted NYY even though he didn’t get no-trade.

And as noted by @jeffpassan, Lucroy under club control through ’17, Miller through ’18. This isn’t a one-shot deal, if Lucroy approves.

Lucroy has a limited no-trade clause, which includes the Indians as one of the teams he can turn down, and that has been the apparent hold-up.

The Indians, at 59-42, have a 4.5-game lead over the Detroit Tigers in the AL Central.
