<p>CLEVELAND — Free agent reliever Blake Parker agreed Monday to a minor league contract with the Cleveland Indians.</p>
<p>The incentive-laden deal includes an invitation to training camp and will be finalized once the 35-year-old Parker undergoes medical tests.</p>
<p>Parker spent the past two seasons with the Philadelphia Phillies. The right-hander went 3-0 with a 2.81 ERA in 14 games during the shortened 2020 season. </p>
<p>The well-traveled Parker has pitched for six teams over eight major league seasons. He also has been with the Cubs, Yankees, Mariners, Angels and Twins. He has a 14-10 career record with a 3.52 ERA and 34 saves in 303 games.</p>
<p>Parker had 14 saves for Los Angeles in 2018.</p>
<p>The Indians are retooling their bullpen following the departure of closer Brad Hand. The club recently signed former Phillies reliever Heath Hembree to a minor league deal and are giving Bryan Shaw a shot to make their roster after choosing not to re-sign him after the 2017 season.</p>
