Guardians’ .270 Hitting Prospect Leaves Contract

This is the part of the offseason where players on the fringes of MLB get the opportunity to test the waters of free agency rather than get stuck with their current club. If a player has been in one organization long enough, the chances arises to “elect free agency,” which basically means choosing not to be tendered another contract by their current club and instead become a free agent, free to sign with any of the teams in baseball. That’s the means by which the Cleveland Guardians lost a middle infield prospect on Tuesday.
