The Indians have acquired outfielder Aaron Cunningham in a trade with San Diego. Cleveland sent minor league reliever Cory Burns to the Padres for Cunningham on Friday, adding more depth to the Indians' outfield. The 25-year-old Cunningham can play right or left field and Indians general manager Chris Antonetti said the club believes ''he has a lot of upside left.'' The Indians know the importance of having depth after outfielders Grady Sizemore, Shin-Soo Choo and Michael Brantley had injury-plagued seasons. Cunningham split last year between the Padres and their Triple-A Tucson affiliate. With the Padres, he batted just .178 in 52 games. Burns went 2-5 with a 2.11 ERA in 54 games for Double-A Akron last season.
