 CLEVELAND (AP) - Eric Wedge wasn't too worried about his future. The Cleveland Indians put him at ease anyway. The fifth-year manager, who has yet to make the postseason in the majors, received a three-year contract extension on Monday, an early reward for having his ballclub near the top in the AL Central.
Wedge was signed through the 2007 season with the club holding a club option for 2008 and 2009.
But with Cleveland (54-37) trailing the first-place Detroit Tigers by just a half-game entering the week and leading the wild-card chase, the Indians, who have made a habit of locking up core members of their organization to long-term deals, decided the time was right to extend Wedge through the 2010 season.
