"Guardians fans know the drill. Their team has barely spent more than the Reds in free agency over the last three decades, and never more than $60 million on a single player," Rymer wrote.He also credited Cleveland for having "one of the best front offices in the majors," but also added the caveat that the Guardians "almost certainly overachieved this season."
Really, Cleveland's stock as a free-agent destination has more to do with the fact that the organization doesn't really spend money than anything else.
