Former American League Cy Young Award winner Shane Bieber reportedly agreed to a one-year, $10 million deal to remain with the Cleveland Guardians, according to multiple reports on Friday.

The deal also reportedly includes a $16 million player option for 2026 with a $4 million buyout.

Bieber, who won the Cy Young in 2020, pitched just twice in 2024 before undergoing Tommy John surgery in April. The right-hander pitched 12 scoreless innings while winning both outings, and struck out 20 while allowing 10 hits and one walk.

Bieber, 29, is expected to miss at least half of the 2025 season while continuing his rehab.

The two-time All-Star has a 62-32 record and 3.22 ERA in 134 starts and two relief appearances over seven seasons with the Guardians. He won a career-best 15 games in 2019 when he made the All-Star team for the first time.
