Tyler Naquin inks minor-league deal with Guardians as pitcher
The Guardians signed Tyler Naquin to a minor-league contract Thursday, transitioning him from outfielder to pitcher, per team reports.
Fantasy Impact
Naquin, turning 34 in April, spent eight big-league years in the outfield—last fully in 2022 with 94th percentile arm strength—and now takes a wild swing at pitching. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues or dynasty setups might squint at this experiment; his arm’s legit, but it’s a long shot for redraft relevance.
