CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Indians have signed that 33-year-old first baseman who previously played for the Toronto Blue Jays.
No, not Edwin Encarnacion. The Indians inked Chris Colabello to a minor-league pact that includes an invitation to spring training in Goodyear, Arizona.
Colabello has spent parts of four seasons in the big leagues with the Twins and Blue Jays. His standout season came in 2015, when he posted a .321/.367/.520 slash line, with 15 home runs and 19 doubles in 101 games. In 2016, he served an 80-game suspension for a violation of the league's joint drug prevention and treatment program.
