Indians Sign Joba Chamberlain

By Jeff Todd | December 1, 2015 at 10:37am CDT

The Indians have signed righty Joba Chamberlain to a minor league deal, per a club announcement. He’ll receive an invitation to major league camp.

Last season was forgettable for the 30-year-old veteran. Over 27 2/3 innings with the Tigers and Royals, he worked to a 4.88 ERA. Though his overall K:BB rates were palatable — 7.5 K/9 against 2.9 BB/9 — Chamberlain surrendered 38 hits and six long balls in that short span.

Of course, Chamberlain has shown more in the not-so-distant past, including a solid 2014 season in which he threw 63 frames with a 3.57 earned run average (and underlying numbers that metrics liked even better). And his velocity is still good, as he sat just under 94 mph with his average fastball.

    Give him to Callaway and hopefully he’ll be a decent reliever again.

      The last article had Justin Maxwell as a headline. It’s a baseball site, and it reports on anything even moderately noteworthy. You could’ve just skipped the article if you really didn’t care though

        I’ll click specifically on the Jordan Zimmerman signing and it won’t open and crashes.
