Ex Guards are the Best Guards {'24}

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Outfielder Michael Brantley is going to retire, he tells Jon Morosi of MLB.com. “It’s time for me to be home 24/7, watch my kids grow up, and not miss important milestones,” he said.

Brantley, now 36, has spent over a decade as one of the best hitters in the league but his health has been a significant issue in recent years. In 2022, he played just 64 games before getting shut down with right shoulder discomfort. He eventually required surgery, which wiped out the second half of that campaign. The issue lingered into 2023 and he didn’t make it back to the big leagues until late August. He continued battling soreness even when activated off the injured list and only made 57 plate appearances over 15 games on the year. He made 32 more plate appearances for the Astros in the postseason but hit just .179/.281/.321 in those. He received some interest from the Blue Jays this winter but it appears he will hang up his spikes instead.
 
Brantley is one of my favorite Indians of all time. Professional hitter, professional guy.

Hope we find a way to get him on a one-day deal so he can retire here.
 
We sold Palacios for 100k, Kittredge was an all-star in 2021.

Reyes had been playing winter league ball, but his agent JD Ozuna released a statement on Instagram explaining that Reyes will sit out of remaining games while negotiations are in the final stages.
