GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- The Indians have one job open in their bullpen and have thrown another interesting arm into the competition. On Sunday, Cleveland signed right-hander Matt Belisle to a Minor League contract that includes an invitation to attend Spring Training with the big league club.
The signing comes after the Indians added reliever Carlos Torres to the fold on the same type of contract on Thursday.
Belisle, 37, turned in a 4.03 ERA with a career-best strikeout rate (8.1 per nine innings) in 62 appearances last season for the Twins. In 60 1/3 innings, the righty struck out 54, walked 22 and picked up nine saves in 11 opportunities.
