The deal also contains a spring training invite. Carlin must really like Columbus, because he's elected to re-sign with the Tribe for the second offseason in a row despite spending all of 2011 at Triple-A and nearly all of 2010 there. Barring something unforeseen, he figures to spend most of 2012 at Columbus, as well. | ||||||

According to Anthony Castrovince of MLB.com, the Indians will promote catcher Luke Carlin and right-hander Vinnie Pestano before Thursday's game. | ||||||
Both will need to be added to the 40-man roster, so the Indians will have to make a pair of corresponding roster moves.
