On Wednesday night, the Indians agreed to terms with closer Cody Allen on a one-year contract for the 2018 campaign, avoiding arbitration with the closer in his final year of eligibility.
The pact is worth $10.575 million, according to the Associated Press. Next offseason, both Allen and relief ace Andrew Miller -- the primary weapons within the Tribe's bullpen -- will be eligible for free agency. Allen, who earned $7.35 million last season, had 30 saves to go along with a 2.94 ERA and 92 strikeouts in 67 1/3 innings (69 appearances) for the American League Central-champion Indians in '17.
The right-hander has logged a minimum of 67 games and 67 1/3 innings in each of the past five years for Cleveland, which selected him in the 23rd round of the 2011 Draft.
