CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Indians squared away deals for Trevor Bauer and Dan Otero on Thursday night. They locked up Zach McAllister and Cody Allen on Friday morning.
That leaves four arbitration-eligible players who need a contract for 2017: Bryan Shaw, Lonnie Chisenhall, Danny Salazar and Brandon Guyer. The Indians hope to have all four negotiations wrapped up without any hint of a potential arbitration hearing.
Those hearings would take place in Phoenix in February for any arbitration-eligible players who have yet to strike an agreement with their team. The two sides can reach a deal at any point before the hearing.
