Cade Smith Drafted by Twins but Signed Undrafted With Guardians — Here’s How

There are few better feelings currently for fans of the Cleveland Guardians than when Cade Smith trots out of the bullpen. The big right-handed pitcher is Cleveland’s closer, and he’s as reliable as they come. When Smith is coming into the game, it’s usually with a lead, and he usually protects it. As far as closers in the modern game go, Smith is one of the very best, and right now he and the Guardians are on an October run into the ALCS against the Tampa Bay Rays.
