Lake Buena Vista, Fla. — The Indians have reached a one-year, $4 million deal with right-hander Joe Borowski. The deal includes a club option for 2008.
Borowski, 35, is the third free-agent reliever the Indians have signed in the last five days as GM Mark Shapiro tries to rebuild a bullpen that was last in saves in the big leagues in 2006.
It’s unclear if Borowski will close for the Indians, but he saved 36 games for the Marlins last season. He is 80-for-101 in save situations for his career.
Shapiro wanted to change the dynamics of last year’s pen and he’s done that. He signed veterans Aaron Fultz and Roberto Hernandez on Sunday.
Borowski doesn’t throw hard, but a scout described him as “gutty and savvy. If he doesn’t close, he can pitch the seventh or eighth inning.”
Last season Borowski went 3-3 with a 3.74 ERA and coverted 36 saves in 43 chances. He threw 69 2/3 innings, striking out 64 and walking 33.
The Indians also officially announced the signing of outfielder David Delluci, who passed his physical Tuesday.
