The Indians have another arm in the bullpen as an option, as Jon Heyman reports the team has signed veteran relief pitcher Tyler Clippard in a minor league deal with an invite to spring training.
The deal for Clippard is for a reported $1.75 million if he makes the Major League roster, and another possible one million in incentives.
Last season Clippard pitched for the Blue Jays going 4-3 with a 3.67 ERA. He appeared in 73 games, throwing 68.2 innings.
He allowed 28 earned runs with 13 homers in his time on the mound.
