WEDNESDAY: Myers' deal is worth $7MM, Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com reports (on Twitter).
TUESDAY: The Indians are set to sign Brett Myers to a one-year deal with a club option, according to Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com (on Twitter). The right-hander is represented by LSW Baseball.
Myers, 32, pitched to a 3.31 ERA with 5.6 K/9 and 2.1 BB/9 in 70 relief appearances last season for the Astros and White Sox. However, he has been vocal about his desire to be a starting pitcher once again in 2013. The Tribe will plug Myers into the starting five, according to Paul Hoynes of the Plain Dealer (on Twitter).
Even though he's a year removed from the role, Myers stood as one of the few innings eaters left on the open market this winter. For his career as a starter, Myers owns a 4.27 ERA with 7.2 K/9 with 2.97 BB/9 in 249 starts. He also pitched a combined 439 and 2/3 innings in 2010 and '11.
Myers became a free agent in October when the White Sox declined his $10MM option for the 2013 season, opting instead to pay him a $3MM buyout. The right-hander had interest from a number of clubs this offseason, including the Padres, Twins, and Royals.
