The Guardians selected Straw's contract Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday.
Straw is still on the Guardians' books through 2026 after inking a five-year, $25 million extension in April 2022, but he was cast off the 40-man roster coming out of spring training and has spent the entire 2024 campaign at Columbus. Over 518 plate appearances at Triple-A, the 29-year old slashed .240/.321/.329 with three home runs and 29 stolen bases. Straw still has some value as a defender and baserunner, but his poor plate skills won't help him earn regular playing time as he joins Cleveland for the first time in 2024.
