Carlos Carrasco, Indians Agree on New Contract: Latest Details, Reaction

The Cleveland Indians and pitcher Carlos Carrasco reportedly agreed to a four-year contract worth around $30 million in guaranteed money on Sunday. The move continues the club's effort to lock up their promising starting rotation.    

Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports first reported the news of an agreement:

Passan later reported the full details of Carrasco's deal with the Indians:

Cleveland confirmed the move on Tuesday.

Carrasco, 28, will make roughly $2.34 million this season, per Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports. The righty went 8-7 with a 2.55 ERA and 0.99 WHIP in 2014, splitting his time between the bullpen and the starting rotation. He's set to return to full-time starter duty for 2015, where he'll be put behind ace Corey Kluber.

News of Carrasco's extension comes a day after Kluber, the reigning American League Cy Young winner, agreed to a five-year deal, per Jerry Crasnick of ESPN.com. The 28-year-old Kluber went 18-9 with a 2.44 ERA and 1.09 WHIP in 2014.

Passan weighed in on the move to lock up both Carrasco and Kluber:

Locking both foundational stars up should help Cleveland continue building a winner. The Indians went over .500 in back-to-back seasons for the first time in more than a decade and are expected to compete for an AL Central crown.

With Carrasco and Kluber in place for the foreseeable future, things are looking awfully bright going forward.
