Mike Napoli Reportedly Agrees to Minor League Contract with Indians

The Cleveland Indians and veteran slugger Mike Napoli reached an agreement Tuesday on a minor league contract with a non-roster invitation to spring training.

Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reported the signing, which is pending completion of a physical, and passed along comments from Tribe manager Terry Francona, who admitted there may not be a place for Napoli when the regular season arrives.

"It's a little bit of a unique situation," Francona said. "He wanted a chance to be in a Major League camp. There's a decent chance we're going to get him ready to have him go on another team and help beat us. Saying that, I think we all felt like he deserved it. He's such a pro, so special to us."
