HBT: Indians sign Dice-K to minor-league deal

From Jon Heyman of CBS Sports comes word that the Indians have agreed to a minor league contract with right-handed starter Daisuke Matsuzaka. The deal carries an invitation to spring training, where the 32-year-old will be given a crack at a starting rotation spot. If he?s on the major league roster the entire season, he can earn an upwards of $4 million.

Dice-K will be?reuniting?in Cleveland with manager Terry Francona, who was hired away from his broadcasting job at ESPN in early October.

Matsuzaka posted an ugly 8.28 ERA, 1.71 WHIP and 41/20 K/BB ratio across 45 2/3 innings last summer for the Red Sox. He had a 4.52 overall ERA and a 1.42 overall WHIP during his six total seasons with Boston.

The Indians have quietly enjoyed a productive winter, hauling in Trevor Bauer, Nick Swisher, Mark Reynolds, Drew Stubbs and Jason Giambi while deciding to retain shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera.
