Indians wait on Thome decision in free agent drama
Cleveland and Philadelphia pursued Jim Thome as he spent a holiday weekend hunting while deciding whether to stay with the Indians or sign with the Phillies. Indians GM Mark Shapiro said the choice is in Thome’s hands after talks with agent Pat Rooney and internal restructuring of a sixth year as a vesting option. Thome, at his Aurora home, has weighed a Phillies offer nearing 90 million over six years against the Indians’ 60 million over five years.
