The Cleveland Indians have signed pitcher Joba Chamberlain to a minor league deal with an invitation to Spring Training, the team announced Tuesday.
Chamberlain made his big league debut in 2007 for the New York Yankees, where he pitched out of the bullpen and became a fan favorite. He famously followed the “Joba Rules,” which allowed the Yankees to limit his innings and appearances to preserve his arm. He spent seven years in New York before playing for the Detroit Tigers and Kansas City Royals.
Throughout his career, he compiled 528 strikeouts in 535.1 innings with a 3.87 ERA.
