Ben Lively

CLE Relief Pitcher #39

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Guardians avoided arbitration with RHP Ben Lively by agreeing to a one-year, $2.25 million contract.

The 32-year-old right-hander was a mainstay in the Guardians’ rotation in 2024, going 13-10 with a 3.81 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and a 118/49 K/BB ratio over 151 innings of work. If they’re able to get anything close to that level of production again in 2025 — at just $2.25 million — it would be a massive win for the Guardians.
Peter Strzelecki

PIT Relief Pitcher #34

Pirates acquired RHP Peter Strzelecki from the Guardians for cash considerations.

Strzelecki, a former Brewers prospect, was DFA’d earlier this week. His stuff has gone south somewhat since he debuted with Milwaukee in 2022, but he still has a 3.44 ERA and an 86/30 K/BB in 83 2/3 innings as a big leaguer. He’ll compete for a bullpen spot in spring training, and that he’s out of options will help his case.
Sam Hentges

CLE Relief Pitcher #31

Guardians avoided arbitration with LHP Sam Hentges by agreeing to a one-year, $1.337 million contract.

The 28-year-old southpaw is expected to miss the entirety of the 2025 season while recovering from shoulder surgery. The Guardians hope that he’ll make it back stronger and better than ever to be a major contributor in their bullpen once again for the 2026 season.
Triston McKenzie

CLE Starting Pitcher #24

Guardians and RHP Triston McKenzie avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $1.95 million contract.

McKenzie had been projected by MLBTradeRumors.com to earn $2.4 million via arbitration, so it looks like the Guardians may have gotten a bit of a discount here after the right-hander’s rough 2024 season. The 27-year-old hurler made just 16 starts at the big league level in 2024, registering an uninspiring 5.11 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and a 74/49 K/BB ratio across 75 2/3 innings. Perhaps he’s able to cure what ails him over the winter and is able to return to the Guardians’ rotation with a vengeance in 2025. At his current average draft position — outside the top-500 players overall — he makes for a nice late-round lottery ticket in deeper formats.
Alfonsin Rosario

CLE

Guardians acquired OF Alfonsin Rosario from the Cubs for RHP Eli Morgan.

Rosario was the Cubs’ sixth-round pick in 2023, and spent last year with Low-A Myrtle Beach. He performed decently in 2024 with a .767 OPS, 16 homers and 20 stolen bases. He’s a long-term fantasy play, but one with a smidgen of intrigue because of some power/speed potential.
Eli Morgan

CHC Relief Pitcher #49

Cubs acquired RHP Eli Morgan from the Guardians for OF prospect Alfonsin Rosario.

The deal’s now official. Morgan was a strong part of the loaded Cleveland bullpen with a 1.93 ERA and 34/11 K/BB over 32 appearances, and he’ll be a high-leverage arm for the Cubs to open the 2025 campaign.
Stephen Vogt

CLE Manager #21

Stephen Vogt won the American League Manager of the Year Award.

Vogt, who led Cleveland to a 92-win season in his managerial debut, received 27 of 30 first-place votes to take home the hardware just two years after his final season of his playing career. Royals skipper Matt Quatraro came in second and Tigers manager A.J. Hinch finished third in balloting.
Nic Enright

CLE Relief Pitcher

Guardians selected the contracts of RHP Nic Enright, LHP Doug Nikhazy, RHP Franco Aleman and OF Petey Halpin from Triple-A Columbus.

The quartet will be protected from selection in next month’s Rule 5 Draft. Enright was a Rule 5 pick from the Marlins a couple seasons ago and is the closes to the big leagues after pitching well last year in a handful of appearances at Triple-A Columbus. The other three are ranked in the mid-20’s of Cleveland’s system, according to MLB Pipeline.
George Valera

CLE Center Fielder #76

Guardians designated OF George Valera, RHP Peter Strzelecki, and Connor Gillispie for assignment.

The trio have been removed from Cleveland’s 40-man roster to make room for a slew of prospects that the organization needed to protect ahead of next month’s Rule 5 Draft. Valera was a borderline top 50 prospect in the game just a few years ago, but his once-promising career has been derailed by injuries and on-field struggles. The 24-year-old outfielder, who has yet to reach the majors, was limited to just 90 games last year before suffering a ruptured patella tendon in mid-September that will cause him to miss the early portion of next season.
Emmanuel Clase

CLE Relief Pitcher #48

Emmanuel Clase was named the 2024 Mariano Rivera American League Reliever of the Year.

The 26-year-old right-hander delivered an unbelievable season out of the Guardians’ bullpen in 2024, registering a minuscule 0.61 ERA, 0.66 WHIP and a 66/10 K/BB ratio over 74 1/3 innings while notching four victories and piling up a league-leading 47 saves. That phenomenal effort has him as a finalist for the Cy Young Award as well, though it’s difficult to see him besting Tigers’ left-hander Tarik Skubal for that award.
