Anthony Gose Elects Free Agency

By Darragh McDonald | August 24, 2024 at 7:29am CDT

TODAY: Gose cleared waivers, as per his MLB.com profile page, and chose to become a free agent rather than accept an outright assignment to Triple-A Columbus.

AUGUST 21: The Guardians have designated left-hander Anthony Gose for assignment, per their transactions tracker at MLB.com. Left-hander Joey Cantillo has been recalled to take his spot on the active roster.

This is the second time that Gose has been quickly designated for assignment after being added to Cleveland’s roster. The first stint led to one appearance but he didn’t get sent to the mound at all in the second stint. He is out of options and therefore can’t be sent to the minors unless he’s removed from the 40-man roster entirely and passed through waivers.

The converted outfielder underwent Tommy John surgery in September of 2022, then was non-tendered by the Guards. He re-signed with them on a two-year minor league deal, covering his rehab from that procedure and planned return to the mound this year.

His results both before and after the surgery have featured a lot of strikeouts but also a lot of walks. In 29 major league innings, from 2021 to the present, he has a 4.34 ERA, 30.9% strikeout rate and 13.8% walk rate. In his 39 Triple-A innings this year, he has a 3.46 ERA, 32.9% strikeout rate but a 15% walk rate.

With the trade deadline now passed, the Guardians will have no choice but to place Gose on waivers again. Players with at least three years of service time or a previous outright have the right to reject outright assignments and elect free agency, with Gose meeting both of those criteria. Last week, he passed through waivers unclaimed and accepted an outright assignment to Triple-A Columbus, so perhaps that sequence of events will take place again in the coming days.

    The pattern here is he gets called up, makes one appearance, and then it’s back to DFA limbo. Guardians got lucky nobody claimed him last time, but I have to think he won’t make it through this go round.

    I agree with Colin kaep on how sports treats “players”

      It’s a competitive., cutthroat business that pays the top 10% of players salaries that even multi-millionaires are in awe of. I don’t care for the endless transactions, but I’d suggest that in a case like this Gose is blocking a deserving pitcher that’s worked his buns off to get a chance…and I’d suggest a guy like you would be crappin’ about that if you knew about it.

      I once heard Terry Francona say that any person that wants to become a professional “player” knows that they’re getting into.

      Apparently “Colin kaep” never had to work at a fast food restaurant for minimum wage.

          Maybe Congress should get involved and make a law to protect the baseball players from having to travel to away games too. It would be better if they could just stay in their own beds every night and scrimmage their own team. Seems reasonable.

          “Without their approval”…Millionaire athletes are just another part of America’s out of touch, Hollywood celebrity elite. I’m saving my sympathies for little old ladies, children living in poverty and disabled military veterans thank you very much.

    The 40 Man Roster is well past it’s prime.
    Raise it to 45
    Or even more for those teams trying to build from within.
    Quit putting players through the DFA/Waiver/Release YO-YO.

      Why would a fringe mlb’er like Gose want his options on where he plays reduced? What if another team was willing to give him a 26 man slot? Traveling is a burden of the trade.

      I kinda feel like there should be an additional roster spot or two on the active roster. I kinda miss the days benches had 5, even 6 guys. In the age of platooning, a deeper bench would help every team.

      Raise it to 45, but also put a limit on how many different players can be on the active roster over the course of the year. 55 would be a backup for every Opening Day major leaguer plus 3 more. (A few years ago the Cubs used almost 70, although a few of those were September COVID-related call-ups.)

      Putting a limit of 55 for the season would stop the whole disposable player trend.

        It wouldn’t change that trend because players would still have the right to refuse assignments (for those who qualify). You would have to take those rights away in order to get the effect you’re describing.

      Keep it at 40 but allow teams to carry an unlimited number of players over 40 years old.

    I start to feel badly for him then I remember he gets one day’s (or however many) worth of league minimum salary. I would take that all day every day and twice on Tuesdays

    I wonder if he’s sour or salty about it. It’d be great to hear his unfiltered thoughts.

    I think he understands that teams are not picking up on waivers so, for a few days on major league payroll and a spot on the Columbus aaa roster when he clears, the bounce is still better than independent league ball or playing catch with a banished pitcher on a mexico league team. And who knows, maybe he gets a shot.

      At about $4400/game plus meal money if traveling, even when taxes and agent fees every day he’s up will pay a lot of expenses.

    Anthony signed a 2 year 2m contract after undergoing t.j. surgery in 2022, which pays him 1m a year if he makes it back to the majors. So that one inning was worth 1m for him. I had the pleasure of having Anthony on my 2004 Heartwell pony league all star team and I can say congratulations to him for all the hard work he has put in to get back to the majors for the 3rd time.
