CLEVELAND -- The Indians made a pitch to Ubaldo Jimenez and protected themselves in case the right-hander leaves town. The club gave Jimenez a $14.1 million qualifying offer on Monday, which he can consider as he starts to talk with other teams. Jimenez, who bounced back from a 9-17 record in 2012 to win 13 games this season, has until Nov. 11 at 5 p.m. EST to accept Clevelands offer. If he signs elsewhere, the Indians would receive an extra pick at the end of the first round in Junes amateur draft. The Indians would love to have the 31-year-old back after he finally emerged as the front-of-the-rotation starter Cleveland thought it was getting when Jimenez was acquired before the trading deadline in 2011. After a slow start this season, Jimenez fine-tuned his delivery, cut down on his walks and went 6-5 with a 1.82 ERA after the All-Star break. Jimenez was at his best in September, going 4-0 with a 1.09 ERA as the Indians finished the month with a 10-game winning streak and earned a wild-card spot to make the playoffs for the first time since 2007. The Indians needed someone to step up when Justin Masterson was sidelined with a side injury, and it was Jimenez who anchored the pitching staff during the seasons crucial stretch. The Indians stuck with Jimenez when he was struggling, and he has expressed his gratitude to the club and pitching coach Mickey Callaway for working with him. He led the AL in losses in 2012, but rebounded nicely and could be one of the most coveted pitchers on the free-agent market. Last week, the Indians exercised their $8 million option on Jimenez for next season, but he voided it and became a free agent The Indians did not extend qualifying offers to any of their other free agents: pitchers Scott Kazmir, Joe Smith, Matt Albers, Rich Hill, outfielder Jason Kubel or catcher Kelly Shoppach.

He throws at up to 98 mph and was 6-14 with a 4.37 ERA in 199 2-3 innings last season.Hes got a good arm and hes young, said Yankees general manager Brian Cashman, who felt he needed more health and depth in his rotation. We are getting younger.Eovaldi joins a rotation coming off numerous 2014 injuries: Masahiro Tanaka (torn elbow ligament), CC Sabathia (knee surgery), Michael Pineda (shoulder muscle). The Yankees original rotation last season combined to start just 77 of 162 games: Sabathia (eight), Hiroki Kuroda (32), Nova (four), Tanaka (20) and Pineda (13).Cashman agreed this week to a $5 million, one-year deal with left-hander Chris Capuano. He says he still has no idea whether Kuroda wants to pitch next year.New York doesnt appear to be interested in big-money free agents such as Max Scherzer and James Shields.Were clearly going to continue to be open-minded to any legitimate opportunities, and thats the optimal word, legitimate opportunities, Cashman said, something that obviously fits within our current circumstances.New York had dealt another key fill-in starter, Shane Greene, to Detroit in the deals that brought shortstop Didi Gregorius to the Yankees.Prado, 31, was obtained by the Yankees from Arizona at the July 31 trade deadline and hit .316 with seven homers and 16 RBIs in 133 at-bats for New York. An All-Star in 2010, he plays second, third and the outfield. Prado is owed $11 million in each of the next two seasons, and will collect his second $1 million assignment bonus for being traded.ddddddddddddNew York is sending the Marlins $3 million a season in twice-a-month installments to offset some of Prados salary. Eovaldi is eligible for salary arbitration for the first time.Prado had been projected to start at second base. The trade could lead the Yankees to making another move or to give 23-year-old Rob Refsnyder or 25-year-old Jose Pirela a chance to win the second base job in spring training. Pirela batted .305 at Triple-A Scranton-Wilkes-Barre and made his big league debut in September, Refsnyder hit .342 at Double-A Trenton and .300 at Scranton last season.Phelps, 28, was 5-5 with a 3.82 ERA in 17 starts and 15 relief appearances, and had been in position to compete with Adam Warren and others to be New Yorks fifth starter, a position open until Ivan Nova returns from elbow surgery in May or June. Phelps also is eligible for arbitration for the first time.Jones, 33, provides left-handed-hitting backup to Mark Teixeira at first base and outfield depth behind projected starters Jacoby Ellsbury, Brett Gardner and Carlos Beltran. Jones hit .246 with 15 homers and 53 RBIs last season and is signed for $5 million for 2015. His acquisition seems to lock out Alex Rodriguez as a possible backup at first.Hes made for our ballpark, Cashman said.German, a 22-year-old right-hander, was 9-3 with a 2.48 ERA for Greensboro in the South Atlantic League, striking out 113 in 123 1-3 innings.NOTES: In addition to German, the Yankees acquired RHP Gonzalez Germen from the Mets for cash in the first trade between the New York rivals since Mike Stanton went the Bronx for Felix Heredia in a December 2004 swap of left-handers. The 27-year-old German had a 4.75 ERA in 25 relief appearances this year with the Mets. The Yankees designated RHP Preston Claiborne for assignment. ' ' '
