Jakob Junis has secured a one-year deal with the Cleveland Guardians valued at $4.5 million, transitioning from the Cincinnati Reds after a successful season. Junis opted for a $3 million buyout rather than accepting a mutual option with the Reds, where he performed admirably with a 2.69 ERA across 24 appearances. The Guardians, fresh off a 92-win season, aim to bolster their roster after significant offseason moves, notably adding Carlos Santana and Paul Sewald. Unfortunately, the team will be without Sam Hentges for the foreseeable future as he recovers from shoulder surgery.
