The Guardians and right-hander Connor Brogdon have agreed to a major league deal, reports Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. Brogdon will make a salary of $900K next year, per Zack Meisel of The Athletic. The Guardians have 40-man vacancies and don’t need to make a corresponding move.
More to come.
Why give him a 40 man spot? Dude should be on a split minor league deal at best…
900K thrown right in the trash.
This guy is going to become an absolute monster. He’s going to break out next year, and then become a staple out of the Guardians bullpen in 2027 after they trade Cade Smith. He will dominate and become an all-star in 27, then will require Tommy John Surgery in late July. That’s when Cleveland will go 55-7 between August and September to make the playoffs, because that’s just what this team does.
