As the Cleveland Guardians enter the Winter Meetings, the general consensus is that the Guardians will, as Chris Antonetti said, “look for an opportunity to add” to the offense.
While acknowledging that the Guardians could look to add at any position where they find value, one area that makes the most sense is finding a hitter who can hit left-handed pitching well and who can play first base.
Cleveland ranked 27th in Major League Baseball in wRC+ against left-handers in 2022, and their primary first-baseman, Josh Naylor, had 127 plate appearances and a 53 wRC+ against lefties.
