Conner Gillispie

The Cleveland Guardians had a relatively quiet day in the baseball world, with little activity surrounding the team, but the news elsewhere in the league kept the offseason busy.

 

Conner Gillispie Heads to Atlanta

One notable development for the Guardians came earlier this month when they DFA’d (designated for assignment) Conner Gillispie, a move tied to their need to protect players in the Rule 5 draft. Now, Gillispie has found a new home, signing a one-year Major League contract with the Atlanta Braves.

This is a bit of a head-scratcher for Guardians fans, as Gillispie, who had been a somewhat unheralded presence in Cleveland’s minor league system, still managed to attract attention from one of the most well-run franchises in baseball. While his departure wasn’t a major loss to Cleveland’s immediate roster, it does raise some questions about the team’s depth and their decision to let him go. The Braves have made a habit of identifying undervalued talent and developing it into contributors, and Gillispie might just be the next success story on their list.

 

Tommy Edman Gets Paid by the Dodgers

In other news from around the league, the Los Angeles Dodgers made a significant move by locking up infielder Tommy Edman with a 5-year, $75 million extension. The deal is a win-win for both sides: Edman, a versatile player with a solid glove and an improving bat, secures his financial future, while the Dodgers add a high-caliber asset to their roster for the long haul.

However, as is often the case with big contracts, the fine print has some interesting details. A reported $24 million of Edman’s deal is being deferred, meaning the Dodgers won’t need to pay all of it upfront. This type of contract structure allows the team to manage their payroll flexibility in the short term while still rewarding Edman for his contributions.

For the Dodgers, this move underscores their commitment to adding stability and depth to their roster. Edman, who can play both second base and shortstop, will give them flexibility in the infield, which is crucial for a team that’s continuously balancing a title window with the demands of player development.

 

What’s Next?

While the Guardians remain relatively quiet, there’s still time left in the offseason for moves to be made. Trades, free-agent signings, and roster decisions can come at any time, and we’ll be watching closely for any potential news involving Cleveland.

For now, fans can enjoy the holiday weekend, but if anything noteworthy breaks, rest assured we’ll have the latest scoop for you!

Stay tuned.
