News and Notes: Happy MLB Free Agency Eve
News and Notes for Sunday, November 3rd, 2024
MLB Free agency begins tomorrow night at 5pm, by which point teams will make decisions about extending qualifying offers.
MLB.com's Mandy Bell offered an FAQ about the Guardians offseason. As usual, she advises against getting our hopes up for much money getting spent. Sigh.
Joc Pederson is a free agent.
Should Cleveland decide to pursue a left-handed hitting outfielder, over the past three seasons, among outfielders rumored to be available in free agency or trade of potential interest to the Guardians, here are splits with 100 or more PA's against RHP:
Joc Pederson - 140 wRC+
Wilyer Abreu - 130 wRC+
Ian Happ - 126 wRC+
Lars Nootbaar - 120 wRC+
Jesus Sanchez - 115 wRC+
Michael Conforto is also a free agent, and has a career 128 wRC+ vs RHP, 96 wRC+ vs LHP.
