Guardians Designate Cam Gallagher For Assignment

By Darragh McDonald and Anthony Franco | November 6, 2023 at 5:59pm CDT

The Guardians announced that right-hander Tanner Bibee was activated from the 60-day injured list, a procedural move since there’s no IL from today until Spring Training. To open a 40-man spot for him, catcher Cam Gallagher was designated for assignment.

Gallagher looked like a non-tender candidate entering the offseason. After signing last offseason, the right-handed hitter ran a .126/.154/.168 line across 149 plate appearances as a backup catcher. Even with a modest projected arbitration salary of $1.3MM, the complete lack of offense made it difficult for Cleveland to keep him on the MLB roster.

It became clear they’d move on once they claimed Christian Bethancourt from the Rays this afternoon. The Guards will now have a week to trade Gallagher or put him on waivers. Assuming he goes unclaimed, he’ll become a free agent.

    He looked like a major league player. Unfortunately he didn’t hit like one. Bet he signs a minor league contract though.

    What was strange to me is how Bucs fans rode Austin Hedges into the ground with negativity and he had better offensive numbers than Gallagher, and the defensive reputation. Meanwhile if Cleveland fans hated Cam they weren’t nearly as vocal.

    Couldn’t Vogt be the back up catcher player manager? Dolan could save even more money!
