Moss (hip) signed a one-year, $6.5 million contract with the Indians on Friday, avoiding arbitration, Jon Heyman of CBS Sports reports.

Analysis:

Moss underwent offseason surgery to repair a torn labrum in his right hip, and is now on a road to recovery that should lead to him being ready for the 2015 season. However, it is unclear if the injury will have any effect in his numbers, and his playing time could take a hit with the move.
