Fausto Carmona will stay with Cleveland in 2012 after the team exercised his $7 million option, but the Indians made Grady Sizemore a free agent by choosing a $500,000 buyout rather than pay him $8.5 million following another injury wrecked season.
Once upon a time Sizemore was one of the best young players in baseball and the Indians? biggest long-term building block, but he hasn?t been productive since 2009 and hasn?t been healthy and productive since 2008.
During the past two seasons he?s missed 220 of a possible 324 games while hitting just .220 with a .659 OPS and knee injuries cast some doubt on his ability to be an asset in center field at age 29. I?ll be interesting to see if any teams are willing to risk offering him more than a one-year deal, because had Sizemore been a free agent a few years ago $100 million offers would?ve piled up.
Carmona failed to build on a strong 2010, going 7-15 with a 5.25 ERA in 32 starts, but the Indians aren?t ready to cut ties with the 28-year-old right-hander and he?d likely have had little trouble securing a multi-year deal on the open market.
