The Guardians have a lot of different ways they could improve their outfield production for the 2026 season. While things should be better next season thanks to the presence of George Valera and Chase DeLauter, they also still need a proven, veteran bat to round out the picture.
Kyle Schwarber stands out as the top option on the free agency market, but he’s set to make a ton of money in free agency and Phillies owner John Middleton hasn’t been shy about his plans to keep him in Philadelphia.
Luckily for the Guardians, there are plenty of tier-two outfield free agents who could help the Guardians in 2026, namely Rob Refsnyder.
