Last week, I offered a list of potential trade targets for the Guardians that wouldn’t break the bank. However, I left one potentially interesting name off the list in the Angels’ Brandon Drury.
Since Opening Day 2021, Brandon Drury, a 31 year old right-handed hitting IF/OF has a 119 wRC+, averaging about 20 homers a year with a 24.1/5.6 K/BB%. In that time period, Drury has also crushed left-handed pitching at a 140 wRC+ rate (111 vs RHP in the same period). Drury is under team-control for $8.5 million for 2024 and a free-agent in 2025.
