Indians Sign Jamey Wright

The Indians signed reliever Jamey Wright to a minor league deal, reports MLB.com's Anthony Castrovince.  Wright, 35, posted a 4.33 ERA, 6.8 K/9, and 5.0 BB/9 in 79 innings for the Royals last year, earning $1.4MM.  Among those with 50+ innings, Wright's 59.1% groundball rate ranked 11th in baseball.  Only one remaining free agent was better: Mike MacDougal at 62.1%.

Other Indians non-roster invitees this year include Mike Gosling, Jason Grilli, Saul Rivera, Brian Buscher, Mark Grudzielanek, Luis Rodriguez, Shelley Duncan, and Austin Kearns.  Mike Redmond is the team's only big league signing.
