  • Indians Sign Jason Kipnis To 6 Years $52.5 Million

    http://sports.yahoo.com/news/indians...1227--mlb.html

    CLEVELAND (AP) -- Only hours before this season's home opener, the Indians guaranteed Jason Kipnis will be around for more than a few more.

    The All-Star second baseman agreed to a $52.5 million, six-year contract on Friday, binding him to the Indians through the 2019 season. The deal includes a club option for 2020.

    Kipnis signed the contract one day after turning 27, giving him a birthday gift of wealth and security he'll never forget.

    ''It's an amazing feeling to get something done,'' said Kipnis. ''I wanted to stay here. I'm excited about being here.''

    Kipnis is the latest core player to be signed to a long-term deal by the Indians, who reached agreements with outfielder Michael Brantley (4 years, $25 million) and catcher Yan Gomes (6 years, $23 million) in the past two months.

    So they're not trading him like all their other good players?

      They are doing like what they did in the mid late 90's.

        This is going to be a good deal for the Indians even though Kipnis landed on the D.L. he is still one of the better 2B in the league.
