Indians agree to minor-league deal with Chamberlain

Right-handed reliever Joba Chamberlain is making a third stop in the American League Central, agreeing to a minor-league deal with the Cleveland Indians on Tuesday.

The 30-year-old made 36 appearances last season, split between the Detroit Tigers and Kansas City Royals, posting a 4.88 ERA and 23 strikeouts across 27 2/3 innings. Should Chamberlain land on the Indians major-league roster, his base salary will be $1 million, according to Joel Sherman of the New York Post.

Chamberlain, who was released twice in 2015 before signing with the Royals in August, owns a 4.28 ERA and 1.52 WHIP in 153 1/3 innings over the past three seasons.
