CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) - The Guardians, like most clubs, prefer to avoid arbitration with their young players. According to reports, they did just that Friday night with most of their arbitration-eligible players.

The Athletic was first to report the signings.

Shane Bieber is the headliner of the group. The Guardians ace is in his second year of arbitration eligibility. He is expected to command a high salary in free agency after the 2024 season.
