You can call off the Cleveland Indians' search for starting pitching. The club has reportedly signed Aaron Harang to a minor-league deal pending a physical, tweets CBS Sports' Jon Heyman. Harang's "in the building" at Indians camp, tweets MLB.com's Jordan Bastian, so rest assured that this is happening. 

Harang had a 5.40 ERA and 1.35 WHIP in 143 1/3 innings in 2013, mostly with the Mariners. He threw 23 innings for the Mets at the end of the season, after he was released by Seattle and picked up by New York. 

Harang will be 36 in early May. He had a 102 ERA+ in 350 1/3 innings for the Padres and Dodgers in 2011 and 2012, but it all fell apart in Seattle last year. 

The Indians are hoping Harang, who has a career 102 ERA- and 99 FIP-, can rebound in the great city of Cleveland.
