The Cleveland Guardians made significant roster changes during the winter meetings in Dallas, trading three-time Gold Glove second baseman Andrés Giménez to the Toronto Blue Jays, along with reliever Nick Sandlin. In return, they received infielder Spencer Horwitz and outfielder Nick Mitchell.

Shortly after, Horwitz was traded to the Pittsburgh Pirates for three pitchers, including right-hander Luis Ortiz, who had a standout season last year. The Guardians are also considering future roster spots for promising players like Travis Bazzana and Juan Brito.
