Cleveland has officially found a new home for Jake Bauers. The first baseman will be sent to the Seattle Mariners in exchange for a player to be named later or cash at a later date.
Bauers, 25, played 160 games in Cleveland and wasn’t good in many of them outside of one magical game in Detroit where he hit for the cycle. His Cleveland career finished with a .220/.308/.356 slash and 14 home runs.
After spending all of 2020 working at the team’s alternate site in Lake County, Bauers made the 2021 Opening Day roster, mostly due to his lack of option years remaining.
