The Indians and outfielder Michael Brantley have agreed to a four-year deal worth $25 million with a club option for $11 million, the Cleveland Plain-Dealer reports.
The deal buys out Brantley's three years of arbitration as well as a minimum of one year of free agency. He hit .284/.332/.396 with 10 home runs, 73 RBI and 17 stolen bases in 556 at-bats last season.
