The Guardians are actively shaping their roster for the upcoming season, with significant moves already made in the offseason. Pitcher John Means, who was recovering from Tommy John surgery, had his six-million-dollar club option declined, making him a free agent. The team is prioritizing strengthening their offense and may consider bringing Means back later if they need more pitching depth. The bullpen is another focus, with key relievers Jakob Junis and Kolby Allard now free agents. The Guardians have flexibility on their forty-man roster, with thirty-seven players currently on it, and will need to protect minor league players from the Rule Five Draft and potentially open up more roster spots before the non-tender deadline.
