Indians sign Dan Wheeler

Found January 26, 2012 on PRO Rumors: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Dan Wheeler
TEAMS: Cleveland Indians,  Boston Red Sox

17
The Cleveland Indians have signed reliever Dan Wheeler to a minor-league deal, Alex Speier of WEEI.com reports.

Wheeler posted a 4.38 era and averaged 7 strikeouts per nine innings in 49 1/3 innings for Boston last season.

Wheeler made $3mm last season and became a free agent when Boston declined his $3mm team option for 2012.

Speier also notes that the Red Sox will not receive compensation for Wheeler signing with the Indians even though he is a type B free agent because he signed a minor league deal.
