The Indians have signed outfielder Jeff Francoeur to a minor league deal, the
team announced in a press release. Francoeur will receive an invitation to the
Tribe's Major League Spring Training camp. ESPN's Jerry Crasnick reported
earlier today that the two sides were close to an agreement. Francoeur, who
turns 30 on Wednesday, is represented by CSE.
Francoeur hit a combined .204/.238/.298 in 256 PA with the Royals and Giants
last season, continuing a two-year slide in production for the veteran
outfielder. The right-handed hitting Francoeur has had trouble consistently
reaching base and hitting right-handed pitching throughout his career, but he
has struggled against both righties and lefties over the last two seasons. If
Francoeur could at least regain his form against southpaws, he could provide
bench balance to a Cleveland outfield that includes left-handed bats such as
Michael Bourn, Michael Brantley and David Murphy.
