The Cleveland Guardians could realistically make a play for this New York Yankees outfielder in free agency.
are typically not known for spending a lot of money, as evidenced by the fact that they rank 23rd in the MLB in payroll this season.
That's why New York Yankees outfielder Alex Verdugo would represent a perfect target for Cleveland in free agency this coming offseason. It should also be noted that Verdugo's peripherals demonstrate that he has been pretty unlucky in 2024, as his .259 BABIP is well below his career BABIP average of .304 . The only concern is that his line-drive percentage has dipped from his career average of 20.7 percent, which could explain the low BABIP.
But the true draw for Verdugo is his glove. Verdugo is one of the better defensive outfielders in baseball, as evidenced by his 6.5 UZR/150 and 5 DRS this year. He can also play all three outfield positions, although he is more suited to the corner spots.
