Analysis:
The details of the contract are not immediately available, although it's believed that Axford is signing a one-year deal as he still has two arbitration years left after the 2014 season. It's unclear, however, if the Indians will immediately write Axford in as their ninth-inning option or if he'll be forced into a competition with the likes of Cody Allen and Vinnie Pestano during spring training.
