The Indians’ bolstering of the bullpen that in part carried them through their postseason run became official on Tuesday with the announcement of left-handed relief pitcher Boone Logan’s one-year deal that includes a club option for a second year.
The Indians and Logan reportedly came to an agreement last week. His deal is worth a reported $5.5 million in 2016 with a $7 club option and $1 million buyout in 2017. To make room on the 40-man roster, relief pitcher Austin Adams was designated for assignment.
Logan gives the Indians and manager Terry Francona an additional left-handed weapon in the bullpen along with Andrew Miller.
