"Left-hander Rafael Perez has signed a one-year deal with the Indians to avoid arbitration.

Perez, entering his fifth big-league season with the Indians, will receive $2.005 million and has a chance to earn another $25,000 in performance bonuses. Perez's signing leaves shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera as the Indians only player still eligible for arbitration.

Cabrera has a hearing date scheduled in St. Petersburg, Fla., to argue money with the Indians. He's seeking $5.2 million and the Indians have offered $3.75 million. He made $2.025 million last year.

Perez signed for just over the midpoint of what he requested and the Indians offered. Perez was seeking $2.4 million and the Indians offered $1.6 million. The midpoint was $2 million."
