The Cleveland Indians are "not close" to an agreement on a long-term contract with Corey Kluber.
The two sides have been discussing a deal over the past few weeks.
Kluber, who agreed to a one-year deal this offseason, is the reigning American League Cy Young winner.
"The lines of communication between myself and the Indians are and will continue to be open," said Kluber's agent, B.B. Abbott.
