Spring Training Preview: Second Base Battle

The Cleveland Guardians traded Andres Gimenez so the question of who will play second base for them in 2025 is an open one as they enter Spring Training a month from now.

Below, I’ll examine the prominent options who seem set to compete for at-bats as the double-play partner for Brayan Rocchio in the season ahead.

The Safe Choice: Tyler Freeman

Freeman will turn 26 in May 2025, after being given a chance to claim a starting job in centerfield in 2024 and failing to do so. Freeman did not grade out well defensively in center and ended up with a very Andres Gimenez-like 84 wRC+ overall.
