According to ESPN’s Jeff Passan, Cleveland Guardians and Andrés Giménez have agreed to terms on a seven-year, $106.5 million deal that includes a team option.
Giménez was the centerpiece of 2021’s Francisco Lindor trade with the Mets, and so far he hasn’t disappointed. After a slow debut year in Cleveland in which he slashed .218/.282/.351 and required a trip back down to Triple-A, Giménez broke out with an All-Star, Gold Glove campaign at second base last year. He slashed .297/.371/.466 with a 140 wRC+ and a career-high 17 home runs, cementing himself as the second baseman of the future and ultimately landing a $100-plus million payday.
