Yesterday evening, news broke that the Cleveland Indians had signed Colt Hynes to a minor league deal and assigned him to Triple-A Columbus. Hynes is by no means a big-name player, and his addition will certainly not be as impactful as that of Andrew Miller. Still, the addition is a nice move by the Cleveland Indians to add a little more depth to the bullpen.
Hynes, 31, has spent the past few seasons in the Toronto Blue Jays’ system. While he has only surfaced in the major leagues twice, once in 2013 with the San Diego Padres and once last year, for a combined total of 20 innings, he has been quite excellent in the minor leagues.
