The Cleveland Guardians have moves to make this offseason, likely signing players to short-term, low-money deals to patch roster flaws.
Given their foundation and ability to develop young talent, the team cannot be overlooked, earning them a No. 12 spot in Joel Reuter's offseason power rankings.
Over the past eight years, the only multiyear deals the Guardians handed out in free agency went to Josh Bell (2/$33M) and Shane Bieber (2/$26M), and both were traded before those contracts ended.
Expecting significant roster improvements is probably wishful thinking, according to Reuter.
