The Winter Meetings have come and gone, and the Cleveland Guardians were largely absent from the festivities.
While we got some updates about the Guardians plans for 2026 as well as which members of the roster are planning on playing in the World Baseball Classic, the Guardians’ front office didn’t make any external acquisitions during the busiest time of the baseball calendar (so long as you don’t count adding Connor Brogdon before the Winter Meetings).
That inaction is a stark change from last year when they reshaped their roster by dealing Andrés Giménez to the Blue Jays and acquiring Luis Ortiz from the Pirates.
