The Cleveland Indians reached an agreement on a new contract with outfielder Michael Brantley, Major League Baseball reported on its website on Monday.
The 26-year-old Brantley will sign a four-year deal worth $25 million that features an option for a fifth year.
The Indians were eager to lock up Brantley, a key member of last season's turnaround that saw Cleveland make a rare trip to the post-season.
Enjoying their first winning season since 2007, the Indians finished 92-70 and lost in the American League Wild Card game.
Brantley batted .284 with 10 home runs and 73 RBIs last season, his fifth with the Indians.
