Justin Masterson Not Expected To Return To Indians

Hey, Hoynsie: With Justin Masterson not quite having the contract year he hoped for, and the Tribe's belief that you can never have too much starting pitching, is there any chance he could come back on a one-year deal for somewhere between $6 million and $8 million? – Jim Kalagher, Los Angeles.

Hey, Jim: The Indians and Masterson's agent have talked, but I don't see Masterson returning to the Indians. About 12 to 13 clubs have expressed an interest in Masterson. I've got to believe one of those teams will offer him a two-year guaranteed deal. I don't see the Indians doing that.
