It’s hard to believe, but the start of 2026 is here. And, with the start of a new year right here, there’s no better time to assess the state of the Cleveland Guardians’ roster.
While it’s still headlined by star third baseman José Ramírez, pitching aces Tanner Bibee and Gavin Williams and a variety of new relievers, there’s still some clear room for improvement.
And one of the clearest ways they can improve upon that is by moving away from some of the players on the roster who disappointed in 2025.
The Guardians should move on from these Nolan Jones, Logan Allen and Gabriel Arias for the 2026 season
OF Nolan Jones
Last year the Guardians reunited with Jones at the end of spring training in the hopes that he’d be an everyday option in right field.
