According to Buster Olney of ESPN.com free agent first baseman Russell Branyan will sign a one-year, $2 million deal with the Cleveland Indians.

The deal also includes a possible $1 million in incentives for 2010 and a $5 million mutual option for 2011.

Branyan was decided between the Tampa Bay Rays and Indians over the last few days, but the Indians provided him with more playing time. Olney says that Branyan will have a shot at being the Indians’ regular first baseman.

Branyan, 34, hit .251 with 31 home runs and 76 RBIs in a shortened 2009 season.  He played in 116 games but none after August 29.  He was diagnosed with a herniated disk that sidelined him throughout the month of September. You can see Branyan’s contract history and statistics here.
