The Guardians did not offer roster spots to either Juan Hillman or Oscar Gonzalez so both are now minor league free agents. Ditto for Andruw Monasterio, Connor Marabell and others.
I just don't get it.
Oscar Gonzalez is 23 years old. He should have been placed on the roster. He hit 31 HRs between AA and AAA this year. He should have been placed on the roster. We are in need of outfielders, especially right handed hitting outfielders. He should have been placed on the roster.
These people are idiots. They waive Francisco Perez and leave Kyle Nelson and Andrew Young on the roster.
This is already starting to be a crappy off-season and what's next is not rostering their top prospects like they should and keeping AAAA players on their roster.
There is a small chance that they have agreements in principle to re-sign Gonzalez and Hillman to minor league contracts with invites to major league spring training AFTER the Rule 5 draft, but I doubt it.
But I doubt it.
There is no excuse, absolutely NO excuse for losing Francisco Perez and losing Oscar Gonzalez. Just because you have too many good prospects doesn't mean you get to give them away for nothing. That is just stupid management and I am formally calling out Chernoff and Antonneti as morons.
You are the freakin' Cleveland Guardians. You have no money. You can't buy free agents. You keep your good prospects. You don't keep 4A players. You load your roster up with prospects and hope for the best rather than lose those prospects for nothing. What is freaking wrong with these guys.
Gonzalez is an intriguing prospect. Even if he requires another 1/2 season in AAA that is OK. He is 23 years old.
What is wrong with these idiots running this team?
