The right-handed reliever appeared in 10 games for the Guardians last season and posted some solid numbers in limited opportunities. Strzelecki had a 2.31 ERA and a 1.20 WHIP over 11.2 innings pitched. He also struck out nine batters and threw 61 percent of his pitches for strikes.

The Chicago Cubs are acquiring right-handed reliever Eli Morgan in a trade with the Cleveland Guardians, sources tell ESPN. Morgan was 3-0 with a 1.93 ERA last season and has a 3.23 career ERA in 173 innings as a relief pitcher.

The Cleveland Guardians traded relief pitcher Peter Strzelecki to the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday evening. In exchange, Cleveland receives cash considerations. Strzelecki was designated for assignment on Nov.

Friday marked the deadline to tender contracts to necessary players, and the Pittsburgh Pirates non-tendered three players.

The Cleveland Guardians made some moves ahead of the non-tender deadline and also shortly after it. They agreed to terms with Ben Lively, Triston McKenzie and Sam Hentges for 2025, and decided to non-tender Connor Gillispie and George Valera.

The Pirates acquired reliever Peter Strzelecki from the Guardians for cash, the team announced. Cleveland had designated the righty for assignment on Tuesday when they set their 40-man roster in advance of the Rule 5 draft.
