Can confirm the Guardians have reached a one-year deal with reliever Colin Holderman.

FanSided's Robert Murray was on it.

One thing that comes to mind is they didn't seem have a long list of big league ready options in the high Minors to call up when they needed a reliever last season. They shuttled Enright and Kent up a few times each.

Carey is 26, so he could be part of that depth mix.
December 10, 2025 at 7:43 PM
The Guardians also selected Jack Carey from the Pirates in the Minor League phase of the Rule 5 Draft.

26-year-old had a 3.63 ERA in 44 relief appearances between High-A and Double-A in 2025.
December 10, 2025 at 7:33 PM
The Guardians selected right-hander Peyton Pallette from White Sox in the Rule 5 Draft.

24 years old, 2nd round Draft pick in 2022. 4.06 ERA in 52 relief appearances between Double-A and Triple-A in 2025.

A huge congrats to Cleveland press box icon Paul Hoynes on getting his much-deserved Hall call. I learned a lot, and shared so many laughs, working with him in my eight years on that beat. What a legend.
