CLEVELAND (AP) — Shane Bieber reiterated he’s open to signing a long-term contract with the Guardians.

The 2020 Cy Young winner made just 16 starts last season due a shoulder strain.

The right-hander is fully recovered and looking forward to this season in Cleveland.

The 26-year-old UC Santa Barbara alumni is arbitration eligible for the next three seasons.

However, the club will like to lock up one of the American League’s best pitchers long-term if possible.

Bieber said he learned about being patient while being sidelined last season.

He’ll anchor one of the baseball’s best young rotations in 2021.
