CLEVELAND (AP) - The Indians have signed All-Star second baseman Jason Kipnis to a six-year, $52.5 million contract extension hours before playing their home opener against Minnesota.
Kipnis is the latest core player to be locked up by the Indians, who reached deals with outfielder Michael Brantley and catcher Yan Gomes during spring training.
The sides had been negotiating for months. The contract runs through the 2019 season with a club option for 2020.
