Johnny Damon joins the Indians April 17, 2012, 8:45 p.m. Johnny Damon is officially with the Cleveland Indians. The 38-year-old outfielder signed a minor league contract Tuesday, the next step before he joins the major league club and possibly moves into a permanent spot in left field, with a chance at joining the 3,000-hit club. The sides agreed on a $1.25-million deal last week, when the Indians were off to a sluggish start with a team batting average below .200. Guillen returns Ozzie Guillen rejoined the Miami Marlins after his five-game suspension imposed after he praised Fidel Castro. The talkative, opinionated, vulgar Guillen said he won't change - but then added he will steer clear of certain subjects from now on. "Obviously, talking about some issues is not my business," he said. No demonstrations were evident at the ballpark Tuesday.
