Cleveland continues to clean house, jettisoning both Bradley and fellow slugger Franmil Reyes from their system. The 26-year-old first baseman, who was removed from the Guardians' 40-man roster back in May, managed just two hits in 17 at-bats earlier this season in the majors and has hit just .199/.278/.414 with 17 homers and 45 RBI in 97 games at the big-league level since 2019.

Bradley was designated for assignment on Sunday and ultimately passed through waivers unclaimed. The 25-year-old has some power but holds an ugly .199/.278/.414 career batting line at the major league level.

Bradley opened the season as the Guardians starting first baseman, but quickly fell out of favor after slashing just .118/.118/.118 with nine strikeouts in 17 plate appearances. He did smash 16 homers in 74 games during the 2021 season, so there may be something here if an interested club wanted to take a chance on waivers.

Bradley struck out three times during Friday's loss to the Yankees and will take a seat Saturday afternoon in favor of Josh Naylor with crafty left-hander Nestor Cortes on the hill for New York. The 25-year-old first baseman figures to be relegated to the bench on a semi-regular basis once breakout sensation Owen Miller is ready to return from the injured list.
