CLEVELAND — Right-hander Matt Herges and Jack Cassel — the older brother of New England quarterback Matt Cassel — agreed Friday to minor-league contracts with the Cleveland Indians.
Herges, 38, has a 40-34 career record in the majors with seven organizations spanning 17 seasons. He and Steve Finley are the only two players to have played on every team within a five-team division. Herges went 3-4 with a 5.04 ERA in 58 games for the Colorado Rockies last season.
Cassel made three starts last year, going 1-1 with a 5.64 ERA in four stints with the Houston Astros. The 28-year-old was 7-1 with a 1.98 ERA at triple-A from April through July.
