Chad DurbinChad Durbin, one of the few unsigned players still on the market, reportedly is closing in on a deal with the Indians.

The report by FOXSports.com didn't specify whether it would be a major league or minor league contract, but the latter would seem most likely at this juncture.

The 33-year-old reliever spent the last three seasons with the Phillies, going 4-1 with a 3.80 ERA in 64 appearances last year. He was a key cog for Philadelphia's 2008 World Series winners, posting a career-best 2.87 ERA in 71 appearances.

Durbin previously pitched for the Tigers, Diamondbacks, Indians and Royals.

The Phillies, Rays and Mariners were among other teams reported to have some interest in Durbin this offseason.
