CLEVELAND, Ohio – The Indians search for outfielders continued Wednesday night as they acquired Collin Cowgill from the Angels in a cash transaction. Left-hander Nick Hagadone was designated for assignment to make room for Cowgill on the 40-man roster.
Hagadone was the only player among seven Indians eligible for arbitration who was not tendered a contract for 2016. The left-hander, recovering from a fractured left elbow, is a free agent.
Closer Cody Allen, right-hander Josh Tomlin, set-up man Bryan Shaw, right-hander Jeff Manship, right-hander Zach McAllister and third baseman Lonnie Chisenhall were all offered contracts for next season before Wednesday's midnight deadline.
