Guardians Face A Jo Adell Deadline This Month

The Cleveland Guardians must decide whether to tender outfielder Jo Adell a contract by November 20 ahead of the 2027 season. Adell, who was acquired in a trade from Los Angeles, posted a .244/.324/.417 slash line with seven home runs and 32 RBI across 48 games with Cleveland.

Writer Andres Chavez notes that Adell is projected to receive between $9 million and $10 million in his final year of salary arbitration. Chavez argues that non-tendering Adell would be a mistake, emphasizing his 23 total home runs on the year and his .320/.372/.599 line against left-handed pitchers.
