The decision to trade Andres Gimenez was a shock to most Guardians fans and left all of us wondering if the org would be able to fill second base in 2025... and so far they have. The combination of Daniel Schneemann and Gabriel Arias has given the Guardians offensive production that far exceeds expectations.
In 2024 the Guardians did not get much offense out of Andres Gimenez; he posted a wRC+ of only 83. This put the Guardians in the bottom third of the league in second baseman wRC+.
In 2025 the Guardians second base unit is ranked #1 with a wRC+ of 145, a huge swing in the right direction.
