Carlos “Cookie” Carrasco, was given the nickname by fellow teammate and backup catcher Roberto Perez, after he was caught snacking on cookies and milk on a plane.
Married and a father of 4 children, Carlos signed a 4-year extension worth $22 million in April 2015 that also includes club options for 2019 and 2020 with the Cleveland Indians. He has a career 4.08 ERA and has 520 strikeouts to go along with his 33-38 overall win-lose total. Most would say that the Cleveland Indians got a great deal on the extension but Carlos had a motive to get a deal signed- his family.
