Thome says no to Chief Wahoo

Newly elected Baseball Hall of Famer Jim Thome won’t be enshrined with Chief Wahoo.

Thome played most of his career with the Cleveland Indians and “fully” supports the team’s decision to remove the divisive Wahoo logo from its uniforms. He prefers to have the club’s block “C’’ logo on his Cooperstown plaque.

The Wahoo logo will be removed from jersey sleeves and caps starting in the 2019 season, when Cleveland hosts the AllStar Game.

Houston closer Ken Giles and Tampa Bay shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria won their salary arbitration cases, while Toronto closer Roberto Osuna has lost.

Giles got a raise from $555,100 to $4.6 million — $400,000 more than Houston’s offer. Hechavarria, who made $4.35 million last year, was awarded $5.9 million, instead of the $5.35 million offered by the Rays. Osuna, also eligible for arbitration for the first time, will make $5.3 million after asking for $5.8 million.
