CLEVELAND (AP) - The Indians could be adding another veteran arm to their bullpen after signing Blake Parker to a minor league contract on Tuesday.
Parker’s deal includes an invitation to training camp in Arizona, where Cleveland will try to upgrade its relief corps to complement a solid starting staff.
The 35-year-old Parker spent the past two seasons with the Philadelphia Phillies. In 14 games last season, the right-hander went 3-0 with a 2.81 ERA. He has also pitched for the Cubs, Mariners, Yankees, Angels and Twins in eight major league seasons.

At this point, the Indians will have 14 non-roster invitees in camp, which opens this week.
