Jason Tyner signs on with the Cleveland Indians
The Indians have signed 30-year old lefty swinging Jason Tyner to a minor league contract. Tyner played in 114 games last season for the Twins and he was 87 for 304 (.286 avg, .686 OPS) with 42 runs scored, 1 homer, 22 RBIs and 8 stolen bases. He has now played in 439 games in his major league career and he is 373 for 1,356 (.275 avg, .638 OPS) with 168 runs scored, 1 homer, 94 RBIs and 61 stolen bases. This was a nice move for the Indians as Tyner could be a solid player off the bench for them at some point in 2008.
