The Cleveland Indians’ stacked bullpen is getting even deeper.
Left-handed reliever Boone Logan agreed to a one-year, $6.5 million deal with the Indians, multiple media outlets reported Thursday.
The contract would pay Logan $5.5 million this year and the Indians would hold a $7 million option for 2018 that includes a $1 million buyout.
The deal reportedly was not finalized pending Logan passing a physical.
The 32-year-old veteran made 60-plus appearances in five of the past six seasons. Last year, he went 2-5 with one save and a 3.69 ERA in 66 outings for the Colorado Rockies. He limited left-handers to a .142 average and righties to a .211 average.
The Indians will be Logan’s fifth major league club. He previously pitched for the Chicago White Sox (2006-08), the Atlanta Braves (2009), the New York Yankees (2010-13) and the Rockies (2014-16). In 581 career appearances, all in relief, he is 28-23 with three saves and a 4.45 ERA.
Logan enters a bullpen that is solid at the back with left-hander Andrew Miller, the American League Championship Series MVP, and right-handed closer Cody Allen.
