With a bullpen in flux once again losing both Cody Allen and Andrew Miller, the Indians today brought back one of their relief arms from a year ago, that being lefty Oliver Perez.
The team announced the club has re-signed Perez to a Major League contract for the 2019 season with a vesting option for 2020.
In a season in which the Indians pen had plenty of struggles, Perez was one of the few bright spots, leading the team with 15 holds, and he held teams scoreless in 46 of his 51 outings, posting the highest bWAR of any reliever on the staff.
