Franmil Reyes may be on his way out of Cleveland after the team designated him for assignment Saturday afternoon. “Franmil Reyes, DFA’d” is one of those things that seemed like a possibility with his struggles this season, but it’s still surreal to see actually happen.
Purely roster-wise, Reyes is being DFA’d to make room for Jake Jewell, a 29-year-old reliever the Guardians signed to a minor-league deal in the offseason. More than that, though, Reyes being DFA’d (and let’s be honest, probably claimed somewhere soon) is the end of a strange chapter of Guardians baseball over the last two years.
