Cleveland.com Recap | Box Score
Greg Allen had notched two hits and Jose Ramirez hit his first home run in 47 years. And, most importantly, no one got hurt.
Bonus: Hammy call:
Surely, this is a Hammy call like you've never heard before ...

Corey Kluber wants to keep getting better and win a championship. I’m a fan of both goals, Klubot.
Around the league
- The Bryce Harper saga has finally come to a close. Now the rest of the off-season can begin!
- Clay Buchholz also signed yesterday (with the Blue Jays).
- Jose Altuve is making his way back from knee surgery and will take the field this weekend.
- Aroldis Chapman isn’t being bothered by knee tendinitis anymore.
- Are the Blue Jays manipulating Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s service time? The MLBPA would like to know.
- Jenrry Mejia strikes out the side in his return from being banned by MLB.
- Alternate Bryce Harper timelines:
I’m told Giants made a 12-year, $310 million offer to Bryce Harper. They were willing to go higher but would have had to go well over $330 million to get it done because of California taxes.

In Bryce Harper talks, I am told #Dodgers were willing to offer a four-year deal worth approximately $45 million per season. That would have allowed Harper to shatter the all-time AAV record and become a free agent at age 30. @MLB @MLBNetwork
