Indians Care

The Indians are taking good care of Juan Lara:

The Indians have released injured reliever Juan Lara and re-signed him to a minor league deal that will pay him an estimated $100,000. By releasing Lara, they cleared a spot on the 40-man roster.

They will continue to pay Lara's medical expenses as he recovers from a near fatal off-season accident in the Dominican Republic. Lara is undergoing occupational rehabilitation at Lutheran Hospital in Cleveland.

The Indians always seem to do the right thing by their players, one reason they are able to keep their stars around.

Thanks to Bryan Belknap for the link.

I think the motivation was purely altruistic. But Carmona and Lara are very close and talk on phone almost daily.
