base and 16 at shortstop while producing a .304 batting average against right-
handed pitchers.
"Erik Gonzalez is an athletic middle in elder who plays solid defense and has
the potential to be a productive hitter at the major league level," said Hunti
ngton. "He gives us another quality option to play shortstop or in the middle
of our in eld this year and into the future."
Gonzalez was originally signed by the Indians as a non-drafted free agent on
8/26/08 and spent all 10 of his professional seasons in the Cleveland organiz
ation. He made his Major League debut in 2016, during which he hit .313 in 21

ization for three seasons (2014-15, 2017).

the Bahamas on December 5, 2016. The 19-year-old made his professional debut
in 2017 while making a combined 16 appearances (13 starts) between the Arizona
League Indians and the Dominican Summer League Indians.
This past season, Thomas posted a 4.58 ERA (19.2ip/10er), 27 strikeouts and a
.188 batting average against while spending the entire season pitching for the
Arizona League Indians 1 team.
"Tahnaj Thomas is a recently converted in elder who possesses a quality frame,
athleticism, a clean delivery and arm strength to create a high-ceilinged pro
spect," said Huntington.
Mendoza was selected by the Indians in the 12th round of the 2017 First-Year P
layer Draft out of Torrance (CA) High School. He made three appearances (two s
tarts) during his rst professional season with the Arizona League Indians in 2

"Dante Mendoza is a pitching prospect who brings many of the traits we like in
young pitchers, while adding to the depth of pitching prospects with upside i
n our system," said Huntington.
