CLEVELAND -- The free-agent market gained dozens of new faces last week at the non-tender deadline. Could the Guardians find any matches among those who are now available?
Outfield and bullpen are among the areas Cleveland could target external additions this winter. Let’s look at five non-tendered players under those umbrellas and weigh their potential fit.
RF Adolis García
2025 with Rangers: 135 G, .227/.271/.394, 19 HR, 75 RBIs
Pros : The highest-profile non-tendered player, García hit 141 homers from 2021-25, tied for 17th most in the Majors over that span. He had a down ‘25 but would have ranked third on the Guardians in home runs, and it's easy to envision the boost he could provide their lineup. García was also an AL Gold Glove Award finalist in right field.
Cons : García
