CODY BOLTON BROUGHT IN BY CLEVELAND

The Cleveland Guardians acquired pitcher Cody Bolton from the Seattle Mariners for cash.

What does it give the Cleveland Guardians
Bolton reinforces Cleveland's bullpen depth. The right-hander has some MLB experience (5.40 ERA in 33 games) and can work as a multi-inning reliever. He has decent strikeout ability, but has been too hittable and allows lots of walks. That has kept Bolton mostly in the minor leagues. He'll be a similar depth option in the Guardians organization.

What does it give the Seattle Mariners
Bolton had been pitching for Seattle's Triple-A affiliate, but they designated him for assignment before this deal. The Mariners acquired him in a similar trade for cash in 2023, and they will move forward with cash coming in return this time.

Fantasy impact
This trade has no fantasy impact.
