The Cleveland Indians tendered eight of their nine arbitration eligible players contracts on Friday but decided not to do so with reliever Jeff Manship, making him a free agent. The Indians did tender contracts to the following players: Cody Allen, Trevor Bauer, Lonnie Chisenhall, Brandon Guyer, Zach McAllister, Dan Otero, Danny Salazar, and Bryan Shaw.
Many expected the Cleveland Indians to tender contracts to all nine of their arbitration-eligible players, but the Indians decided that Manship was worth letting go.
