One year after pitcher Brady Aiken was unable to come to terms on a contract with the Houston Astros, who made him the No. 1 overall selection in the 2014 MLB draft, the 18-year-old lefty agreed to a deal Friday with the Cleveland Indians.
According to MLB.com's Jordan Bastian, the Tribe signed Aiken to an undisclosed contract after selecting him with the No. 17 overall pick in the 2015 draft.
Aiken's fall in the draft is due to his recovery from Tommy John surgery, which means he won't be back until 2016 at the earliest.
