Grady Sizemore will remain with the Indians in 2012, announced the team
today. Sizemore receives a $5MM base salary and $4MM in incentives on a
one-year deal, tweets ESPN's Buster Olney. He has a chance to reach the
value of the option the Indians turned down, with the incentives kicking in
at 450 plate appearances according to MLB.com's Jordan Bastian. Sizemore
would get $500K for winning the Comeback Player of the Year award, tweets Jon
Paul Morosi of FOX Sports.
The Indians chose a $500K buyout over Sizemore's $9MM option in October, and
with at least eight teams showing interest it seemed that he'd play elsewhere
for the first time in his career. Sizemore, 29, is a risky player given his
health issues the last three years. Previous to that, he was one of the
game's best players for the Tribe.
