CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Indians already have Corey Kluber, Carlos Carrasco, Danny Salazar, Trevor Bauer and Cody Anderson under team control for the foreseeable future.
Now, they have Josh Tomlin locked up for a bit longer. The Indians and the right-handed pitcher have agreed to a two-year contract extension. The club also holds an option on the pitcher for the 2018 season.
Tomlin will earn $2.25 million in 2016, a figure agreed upon nearly two weeks ago, when the Indians avoided arbitration with all of their eligible parties. He'll make $2.5 million in 2017, a source told cleveland.
