According to a high level source with the Indians, former Red Sox free-agent outfielder Trot Nixon is close to signing a contract with the Cleveland Indians. More details as they become available.
As I will talk more about when I post the interview with Mark Shapiro, this signing really comes as no surprise. Casey Blake will be getting the majority of the time at first base, and Ryan Garko will become a part-time player and bat off the bench. Shin-Soo Choo and Jason Michaels will be 4th and 5th outfielders on the 2007 Indians club.
