playoff series since their World Series run in 2005. Last year, Chicago entered the season with a $128 million payroll, its highest ever. Still, the Detroit Tigers took the division and ran with it, finishing 15 games over the second-place Cleveland Indians, who finished below .500. And so, all of that past spending has seemingly caught up with Williams and the White Sox this year. Starting pitcher Jake Peavy is in the final year of his three-year, $52 million contract that will see him make a

Goodyear, AZ (Sports Network) - The Cleveland Indians acquired pitcher Jairo Asencio from the Atlanta Braves on Thursday in exchange for cash considerations. Asencio spent most of the 2011 season with the Triple-A Gwinnett Braves, where he was 3-2 with a 1.81 ERA in 47 games, while saving a league-best 26 games in 27 chances.

Cleveland Indians 2012 Preview Wed Mar 28 13:23:59 2012 EST
Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - There wasn't a better story through the first four months of the season than the Cleveland Indians. But the story didn't end well. Cleveland stormed out of the gate and into first place in the AL Central by opening with a 14-2 record at home and a 30-15 record through May 23. It wasn't just that they were winning, it was the way they were winning. Mixed throughout the season were 36 comeback wins and 18 victories in the last at- bat. The Indians enjoyed 12 wa
Indians send Chisenhall, LaPorta to minors Tue Mar 27 14:00:20 2012 EST
Goodyear, AZ (Sports Network) - Cleveland Indians third baseman Lonnie Chisenhall and outfielder/first baseman Matt LaPorta will apparently start the season in the minors after both were optioned to the club's Triple-A affiliate in Columbus. Chisenhall is one of Cleveland's top prospects, but he hit just .205 with 16 strikeouts in 16 games this spring. Jack Hannahan will likely start the year as the Indians' third baseman. Selected with the 29th overall pick of the 2008 draft, Chisenhall made h
Indians' Chris Perez sidelined by oblique strain Sun Feb 26 13:54:36 2012 EST
Goodyear, AZ (Sports Network) - Cleveland Indians closer Chris Perez suffered a strained left oblique muscle and is expected to be sidelined for at least a month. Perez was hurt during a bullpen session on Thursday in his first workout at spring training. The Indians are hopeful that he will begin throwing again toward the end of spring training and will be ready for the start of the season on April 5. "Thanks for all of the support; just a little set back," Perez wrote Sunday on Twitter. "At l
Oft-injured Sizemore to miss Opening Day Fri Feb 24 18:08:27 2012 EST
Goodyear, AZ (Sports Network) - Grady Sizemore is hurt yet again. The oft-injured center fielder has a strained lower back and the Cleveland Indians believe he is unlikely to be ready in time for Opening Day. Sizemore, who spent the offseason rehabbing a right knee injury suffered in May, injured his back during fielding drills. Prior to the latest setback, Sizemore was hitting and throwing without any restrictions. The club has shut him down, and did not provide a timetable for his return to w

Goodyear, AZ (Sports Network) - The Cleveland Indians have signed veteran infielder Cristian Guzman to a minor league contract with an invitation to major league spring training.
