The Cleveland Indians finished their arbitration deals yesterday, as they inked the final four players to one-year deals. Of those signed, closer Cody Allen commanded the most salary with a grand prize of $4.15 million. Allen, 27, pitched one of the best seasons for a reliever in 2015. According to FanGraphs, his 2.6 wins above replacement and 1.82 fielding independent pitching, FIP, sat atop the leaderboards for all qualified relievers. In his first time through arbitration, the elite closer commanded a substantial sum of $4.15 million.
Another Indians reliever, Jeff Manship, signed with the team as well.
