Indians' Bryan Shaw: Avoids arbitration with Indians, agrees to $4.6 million deal

Shaw and the Indians avoided arbitration on Friday with a one-year, $4.6 million deal, Jon Heyman of CBS Sports reports.

Analysis:

Shaw was a valuable member of a daunting Cleveland bullpen in 2016, leading the league in appearances with 75 while posting a strong 3.24 ERA. This should be his final round of arbitration, with the 29-year-old potentially hitting free agency next offseason.
