Cleveland Indians sign reliever Tom Gorzelanny to minor league deal with Spring Training invite

The Cleveland Indians have signed left-handed relief pitcher Tom Gorzelanny to a minor league deal, as confirmed through Twitter. This is the second lefty specialist the Indian shave signed in the past week as they attempt to even out their bullpen, which currently lacks a dominant southpaw. Last Thursday, the Indians also agreed to a minor league deal with Joe Thatcher. Both signings were made official today.

Gorzelanny is a 33-year-old reliever who has some experience is as a starter, but has not done so since 2013. His role on the Indians, should he make the roster out of Spring Training, will be a veteran lefty presence out of the pen.
