The Cleveland Guardians are avoiding arbitration with their ace.
The team inked Shane Bieber to a one-year, six-million dollar contract yesterday.
The 2020 Cy Young Award-winner dealt with injuries for much of 2021.
He started just 16 games, but he was dominant when he was healthy, going 7-and-4 with a 3.17 ERA and 134 strikeouts in 96-and-two-thirds innings.
Meanwhile, the Guardians beat the San Diego Padres 6-1 in Spring Training action yesterday.
Bieber gets his first start of the spring against the Dodgers today.
