CLEVELAND, Ohio -- If Josh Tomlin is already penciled in as a member of the Indians' rotation, he doesn't want to know.
"I don't think I'm going to change my mindset," Tomlin said Tuesday, the day he and the Indians finalized a two-year contract extension. "I don't want to."
The Indians locked up Tomlin through the 2017 season on a deal worth $5.5 million. The club presented the idea of an extension when the two sides negotiated a pact to avoid arbitration nearly two weeks ago.
Tomlin will earn $2.25 million in 2016, $2.5 million in 2017 and the Indians hold a $3 million option -- or a $750,000 buyout -- on the right-hander for the 2018 campaign, a source told cleveland.
