Eddie Rosario’s signing with the Cleveland Indians is about to be candy

Puerto Rican gardener Eddie Rosari is nearing the end of a contract with the Cleveland Indians, a franchise that he also traded to Puerto Rican Francisco Lindor at the New York Mets earlier this month.

The information was provided by MLB Network.

After playing six seasons with the Twins, a franchise that selected him in the fourth round of the 2010 rookie draw, Minnesota placed the 29-year-old guayamés on the ‘outright waivers’ list in early December after failing to achieve an attractive change for the ranger. According to Ken Rosenthal, Rosario could have earned a salary of $ 9.6 million in arbitration before being released.

Last year, Rosario beat for 257 with 13 homers and 42 RBIs in the shortened Majors season. The Twins were swept into the wildcard series by the Houston Stars.

In his career, he batted for 277 with 119 home runs and 388 RBIs. In 2015, he was a leader in triples in both leagues with 15.

If the pact materializes, Rosario will reach the Indians – rivals of division of the Twins – after to have changed his stellar compatriot, Lindor, to the Mets when not having the capital to give a multiannual extension him. In Cleveland he plays two-time catcher Golden Glove Roberto “Bebo” Pérez, and former player Sandy Alomar Jr. acts as a first base coach.
