  • The Guardians have a wide-open situation when it comes to their designated hitter spot in the lineup. Here's a look at all of their options.

The article from MSN Sports discusses the Cleveland Guardians' options for the designated hitter (DH) role as they head into the 2024 season. With Josh Naylor and David Fry having been primary DHs in the past, the team is now looking at several prospects and players to fill this position. Jhonkensy Noel, known for his power hitting, has shown promise in the minors with a notable performance in Triple-A, hitting 27 home runs. Kyle Manzardo, acquired in a trade, is another strong candidate with a solid batting average and on-base percentage in the minors. Additionally, players like Deyvison De Los Santos, Johnathan Rodriguez, and George Valera are also in the mix, each bringing different strengths to the table. The Guardians are considering these options to bolster their lineup, especially with the need for more power hitting, as they aim to improve their offensive output in the upcoming season.
