Shane Bieber agrees to one-year deal with Cleveland Guardians

UPDATE: It’s a one-year deal for $10 million and a $16 million player option in 2026, which includes a $4 million buyout, per ESPN’s Jeff Passan.

Right-hander Shane Bieber was selected by the Cleveland Guardians in the fourth round of the 2016 MLB Draft. In seven MLB seasons, Bieber has been selected to two All-Star teams and had a particularly memorable 2019-20 season, pitching 214.1 innings with a 10.88 K/9, 1.68 BB/9, a 15-8 record, and a 3.32 FIP. That earned him the Cy Young Award along with being the AL wins, ERA and strikeout leader.

Injuries have derailed his career, though, as he has only one 200 inning season since then with three sub-100 innings pitched seasons. Bieber only lasted 12 innings last year before undergoing Tommy John surgery.

On Friday, Bieber agreed to remain with the Guardians on a one-year contract with a player option for the second season, per Robert Murray of Fansided.

Stan joined DraftKings in December of 2020. It was a glorious time, except for that whole COVID thing, when we got Madden streams and boisterous bat flips from the KBO. I was brought on board to bring some West Coast flavor. I especially love hoops, and most of my content is in that arena. When I walk along the beach, strumming my guitar, the beat that I hear is not one of crashing waves. No, it is the beat of the ball bouncing off the hardwood with highs provided by the squeaks of the sneakers. Ball is life.
