Baseball Notes: Ex-Phillie Myers gets 1-year deal with Indians

Posted: January 02, 2013

The Cleveland Indians have agreed to terms with free-agent righthander Brett Myers on a one-year contract.

Myers, who pitched for Houston and the Chicago White Sox last season, will get a chance to win a spot in Cleveland's starting rotation. His deal with the Indians includes a club option for 2014. It will not be finalized until he passes a physical.

Myers went 3-4 with a 3.14 ERA in 35 relief appearances with the White Sox, who acquired him in a July trade with the Astros. The 32-year-old was 0-4 last season with a 3.52 ERA in 35 games for Houston.

Myers spent eight seasons with the Phillies before signing as a free agent with Houston in 2010. He was drafted in the first round by the Phillies in 1999, selected with the No. 12 overall pick.

Price, Rays agree

American League Cy Young Award winner David Price reached an agreement on a one-year contract with the Tampa Bay Rays to avoid salary arbitration, ESPN.com said.

He will be eligible for free agency after the 2015 season.
