Fans have been begging the Guardians to make noise in free agency, so they signed Carter Kieboom.
No, not that kind of noise!!
Kieboom batted 8 times for the 2025 Angels, and still managed to be worth –0.3 bWAR. He spent 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2023 with the Nationals, where he was also worth negative bWins.
Maybe the Guards will continue knocking things off our want list by adding Jeff Powerhitter, who batted .207 with 2 home runs for the Long Island Ducks this past year.
Around baseball
• The Royals are
planning on shrinking the dimensions of their playing field because their hitters find baseball too difficult.
• Nolan Arenado is finally leaving St. Louis; he was traded to Arizona for a bargain basement return.
• The Marlins traded Ryan Weathers to NYY. I’ve always been highly skeptical of him, but I have no idea who these 4 prospecs are so I’ll hold off on judging this.
• The Mets are making an expensive run at Kyle Tucker.
• Andy Ibanez signed with 1 of the 2 teams that signs free agents. Can you guess which one?
• The Cardinals signed Ryne Stanek
• And the Cubs claimed Justin Dean off waivers.
