Terms not yet revealed. Former Cub has history of arm problems but will be a great addition to the Indians if he remains healthy.

The Chicago Tribune is reporting that the Cleveland Indians have signed flame throwing closer Kerry Wood to a two year contract. The Tribe's major need this upcoming season was to add quality arms in the back end of the bullpen, and Wood addresses those needs. The Indians are also taking a chance as Wood has a history of arm trouble.

When Wood is healthy, he is one of the most dominating players to ever don a Major League Baseball jersey. In Wood's fifth ever career start, the rookie phenom made national headlines when he struck out 20 batters and threw a one hitter. He and former Indians great Bob Feller are the only players in the history of the game to strike out their age as Wood was 20 when he accomplished the feat and Feller was 17 when he fanned 17 batters as a rookie.

The terms reached with the longtime Chicago Cubs player has not be announced at this time. Wood, who had been limited because of arm trouble in 2006 and 2007, came back into form last season saving 34 games last year with a 3.26 ERA. In his 10 year big league career the now 31 year old has compiled a 77-61 record and has K'd 1407 batters in only 1219 Innings pitched. The Indians will not have to forfeit a draft pick to the Cubs because his former team did not offer him salary arbitration.

The reported signing comes a day after that Casey Blake, who the Indians were said to be looking at as a free agent pick up, signed with the LA Dodgers. Blake had been traded over by the Indians in the offseason and many pundits believed that he would come back to man the third baseman role for the team this season.
