Indians To Sign Nick Swisher
By Zach Links [December 23, 2012 at 8:53am CST]
The Indians have agreed to sign Nick Swisher to a four-year, $56MM deal, according to Mark Feinsand of the New York Daily News (via Twitter). The MVP Sports Group client will also get a $14MM vesting option in year five that could boost the overall value to $70MM. The option for the 2017 season vests if he has a certain number of plate appearances in '16, and it'll be an easy number to reach if he's healthy, Feinsand tweets.
The veteran comes to Cleveland as the club's replacement in right field for Shin-Soo Choo. The Tribe sent Choo to the Reds earlier this winter in a three-team deal that netted them right-handed pitchers Trevor Bauer, Matt Albers, Bryan Shaw, and shortstop Drew Stubbs.
