The Guardians are officially making A Move and calling up one of their top prospects, third baseman/outfielder Nolan Jones. The move was first reported by Guardians Prospective and made official by the team Friday afternoon before the series opener against the Royals.
Originally drafted as a shortstop, Jones was Cleveland’s second-round pick (55th overall) in the 2016 draft out of Holy Ghost Prep School in Bensalem, Pennsylvania. He quickly made the move to third base and more recently to the outfield when it became apparent that the organization had their third baseman of the future in José Ramírez.
