The Guardians announced Tuesday that they’ve designated righty Nic Enright for assignment. Cleveland has also added righties Austin Peterson and Yorman Gomez, infielder Angel Genao and outfielder Kahlil Watson to the 40-man roster, which is now full. Those four newcomers are now protected from being taken in next month’s Rule 5 Draft.
More to come.
Kahlil Watson.
Now that’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time. A long time.
Kahlil was a big-time prospect a few years back. I remember pulling a Bowman Chrome 1st of his and being excited for his future.
Watson had a pretty good year hitting at AA and AAA this year. I’m not entirely convinced he has a position though.
I like the additions. There’s nobody in Cleveland’s system that I see a big worry in being taken. I’m a little puzzled Enright got the axe. He’s a serviceable right handed reliever with options. Meanwhile the out of options outfielders Nolan Jones and Jhonkensy Noel – both coming off rough seasons – are both guys I would rather have taken off the roster.
Enright won’t be pitching next year due to surgery. Chances are low that another team will nab a guy who likely will be rehabbing in AAA in 2027
