CLEVELAND (AP) -The Cleveland Indians have Kerry Wood’s medical records. They just aren’t saying whether they like them.
The club was internally discussing the results of Wood’s physical and had no word Friday on whether they’ve reached agreement with the free agent closer on a contract. The Indians offered Wood a two-year deal worth about $20 million earlier this week in Las Vegas. It includes a third-year option.
General manager Mark Shapiro said the club was still working toward a deal. He is expected to have an update during a teleconference on Saturday.
The 31-year-old Wood has a long history of arm and elbow problems and the Indians wanted to make sure their investment was the right one. Wood had his physical on Thursday in Cleveland, but has returned to his home in Arizona.
