LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- The Indians continued to stockpile depth behind their Major League roster on Tuesday, agreeing to a Minor League contract with right-hander Alexi Ogando at the Winter Meetings.
Ogando's pact with Cleveland is pending a physical and will include a non-roster invite to attend Spring Training with the big league squad. MLB.com's Jesse Sanchez reported that Ogando -- a reliever for most of his Major League career -- hopes to be stretched out as a starter this spring.
The 34-year-old Ogando was an All-Star with the Rangers in 2011, but has not pitched in the big leagues since 2016, when he made 36 appearances for the Braves.
