Tomlin agreed to a two-year contract extension with the Indians on Tuesday, the Cleveland Plain Dealer's Paul Hoynes reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tomlin recently agreed to a one-year, $2.25 million contract for 2016, avoiding arbitration. The extension will pay him $2.5 million in 2017, with a $3 million club option for 2018 that includes a $750,000 buyout. The 31-year-old righty missed the majority of last season while recovering from shoulder surgery, but he excelled to the tune of a 3.02 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and 57:8 K:BB ratio in 65.2 innings (10 starts) over the final seven weeks of the campaign. Though still highly vulnerable to the long ball, Tomlin should have the inside track to the fourth or fifth spot in Cleveland's starting rotation.
