The Indians reached agreement with AL Cy Young Award winner Corey Kluber on a one-year contract for the 2015 season, per The Associated Press.
Details of the contract were not immediately available, but Kluber was the team's only arbitration-eligible player who had not signed for this season, with a Wednesday deadline to renew contracts. The Indians have expressed their interest in signing Kluber to a long-term deal.
Kluber emerged last season to post an 18-9 record with a 2.44 ERA and 269 strikeouts, joining Roger Clemens, Pedro Martinez and Randy Johnson as the only pitchers since 1987 to record at least 18 wins, an ERA under 2.50 and 260 strikeouts.
