Guardians acquires Cody Bolton – MLB Trade Rumors

The navies announced this right -hander Cody Bolton Was exchanged to the Guardians for cash considerations. It was appointed for assignment a few days ago when the M selected Jesse Hahn. The guards were transferred John means to the list of 60 days injured to open a place of 40 men and optionized Bolton in Triple-A Columbus.

Bolton, 27 years old in June, has 40 sleeves on its major league history at this stage. Between the 2023 pirates and the 2024 navies, it has a combined average of 5.40 years. Its withdrawal rate of 20.5%, its walking rate of 12.6% and its level of ball on the ground of 39.5% are each a little worse than the average of the league.

The guards are probably more interested in his work as a minor league. After missing all the 2021 season due to a knee injury, he has since launched 153 2/3 Triple-A rounds with a 3.40 MPM. Its 11.1% walking rate is still high, but it withdrew 25% of opponents at that time. It is on average nearly 95 miles per hour on its fast four -seaming ball and a lead, as well as the change in change, sweeteners and cutting.

For Cleveland, they actually had an open place of 40 men. The means underwent UCL surgery in June from last year. He also underwent Tommy John surgery on this same ligament in April 2022. He is likely to be absent until mid-season, even in the best of cases. They used this free place to enter Bolton and put it in Triple-A as an additional depth. It has less than a year of service and can be retained at a lower cost in the future. However, he has only one year of option, he will therefore be out of options next year if he burns his last here in 2025.
