Veteran right-hander Roberto Hernandez and left-hander Aaron Fultz signed one-year deals with the Tribe on Saturday, as the club got a jump-start on the upcoming Winter Meetings. Both deals include a club option for 2008. Financial terms were not immediately available.
"We're looking to change the dynamic in the bullpen," general manager Mark Shapiro said. "[Hernandez and Fultz will] provide some outsider experience."
Neither Hernandez nor Fultz is viewed as the club's savior in the closer's role. Hernandez will likely be in the setup mix, while Fultz will primarily be a left-handed specialist.
