Marlins signed RHP Mitch Talbot to a minor league contract.

We're assuming he'll also get an invite to major league spring training. Talbot pitched with the Samsung Lions of the Korean Baseball Organization last season and posted a 3.97 ERA over 138 innings. He has a 5.30 ERA over 41 starts and two relief appearances in the majors between the Indians and Rays.

Mitch Talbot - S - Marlins

Mitch Talbot has signed with the Samsung Lions of the Korean Baseball Organization.

He will make $300,000. Talbot's agent, Andrew Lowenthal, said last month that he was talking to 15 different teams about his client, but it's hard to believe that now that Talbot has taken a relatively modest deal to play overseas. The 28-year-old held an ugly 6.64 ERA and 1.85 WHIP in 63 2/3 major league innings -- 12 starts -- this season for the Indians.

Mitch Talbot's agent, Andrew Lowenthal, told Jerry Crasnick of ESPN.com that he has heard from 15 teams regarding his client.

Talbot is also drawing interest from Japanese League clubs. The 28-year-old suffered through an ugly 6.64 ERA and 1.85 WHIP in 63 2/3 major league innings -- 12 starts -- this season for the Indians, but he has back-end of the rotation upside, so someone will take a flier on him.

Mitch Talbot has elected free agency.

Talbot posted an ugly 6.64 ERA and 1.85 WHIP in 63 2/3 major league innings (12 starts) this season for the Indians. The 28-year-old will look for a minor league deal in another organization.

Indians sent RHP Mitch Talbot outright to Triple-A Columbus.

Talbot registered a disappointing 6.64 ERA and 1.85 WHIP in 63 2/3 major league innings (12 starts) this season, failing to build on whatever progress he made during his 28-start 2010 campaign with Cleveland.

Indians purchased the contract of RHP Mitch Talbot from Triple-A Columbus.

Talbot was designated for assignment two months ago after opening the season with a 6.33 ERA and 1.80 WHIP in his first 58 1/3 innings. He's back to pitch one half of Saturday's doubleheader against the Twins.

Mitch Talbot is expected to pitch in one half of Saturday's doubleheader against the Twins.

Talbot was designated for assignment at the end of July after posting an ugly 6.33 ERA and 1.80 WHIP in 58 1/3 major league innings. Avoid him for fantasy purposes.

Indians sent RHP Mitch Talbot outright to Triple-A Columbus.

The Indians designated the right-handed for assignment Sunday, but he's cleared waivers and because it was the first time he's been outrighted, he has to accept the assignment. Talbot is likely a candidate only for the bullpen later this season.

Indians activated RHP Mitch Talbot (back) from the 15-day disabled list and designated him for assignment.

Talbot is the odd man out with Ubaldo Jimenez on board. The Indians will still need to demote someone from their active roster to make room for their newly acquired pitcher. Talbot, 27, had an ugly 6.33 ERA and 1.800 WHIP over 58.1 innings in 2011 before going down with a lower back injury. The journeyman could latch on with a team looking for bullpen depth, but he'll be nothing more than a mop-up reliever.

Mitch Talbot (back) will begin a minor league rehab assignment Tuesday with Triple-A Columbus.

Talbot was placed on the disabled list earlier this month with a lower back strain. He is expected to work out of the bullpen in the minor leagues. The 27-year-old right-hander is out of options, so the Indians will either have to add him to the active roster or put him through waivers once his 30-day rehab assignment is complete.

Mitch Talbot - S - Marlins

Indians placed RHP Mitch Talbot on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to July 9, with a lower back strain.

Interesting timing, given that Indians manager Manny Acta was already considering booting him from the starting rotation. Talbot has a 6.33 ERA over 11 starts this season and is winless since May 31.

Indians manager Manny Acta indicated after Friday's game that the struggling Mitch Talbot might be booted from the rotation.

Talbot gave up eight runs Friday and now holds a 6.33 ERA on the season. "He's scuffling, so we're going to have to look into that," Acta said. "We're not going to overreact, but we've got to look into things. It's been 31/2 months of baseball. We have to do what's best for our team and look at all our options." The Indians have four options at Triple-A that are all pitching well in Zach McAllister, Jeanmar Gomez, David Huff and Scott Barnes, so it's no surprise that the leash on Talbot is short.

Mitch Talbot was pummeled by the Blue Jays Friday, surrendering eight runs on 10 hits and two walks over 5 1/3 innings.

That’s now 14 runs he’s allowed over his last two outings and 26 allowed over his last five times out. The Indians have a handful of starters pitching well at Triple-A, so Talbot’s leash can’t be too long at this point. He’ll carry a 6.33 ERA and 1.78 WHIP into the All-Star break.

Mitch Talbot got roughed up by the Reds on Sunday afternoon, allowing six runs on 10 hits in just four innings of Cleveland's 7-5 loss.

He struck out three while walking one, and served up a solo home run to Chris Heisey in the second. Winless with a 6.39 ERA over his past six starts, Talbot might not keep his spot in Cleveland's rotation much longer if he doesn't start posting better results.
