• Brandon Guyer: Announces retirement

  07/06/2020 • By RotoWire

  Guyer announced his retirement Monday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports. The 34-year-old spent parts of seven seasons in the big leagues, hitting .250/.339/.388 with 32 career homers and 22 career steals. A solid platoon bat in his best seasons, Guyer's standout skill was his ability to get hit by pitches, something he did 31 times in 2016, leading the league by seven in that category despite coming to the plate just 345 times. He was part of a Cleveland team that won the American League pennant that season.

• Brandon Guyer: Hits free agency

  04/02/2020 • By RotoWire

  Guyer was released by the Giants in March, Baseball America reports. In camp as a non-roster invitee, Guyer logged one hit in nine spring plate appearances. He hasn't played in the majors since 2018 with the Indians, and it seems like the 34-year-old's big-league career has likely come to a close.

• Giants' Brandon Guyer: Signs minor-league deal with Giants

  02/03/2020 • By RotoWire

  Guyer signed a minor-league deal with the Giants on Monday, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports. Guyer has played 518 games in the big leagues and owns a respectable .250/.339/.388 slash line, good for a 104 wRC+. None of those games came in 2019, however, and the 34-year-old hasn't managed an above-average batting line since 2016, so his chances of making a significant impact in the majors this season appear slim. He hit a modest .244/.367/.366 for Triple-A Charlotte last season.

Guyer was released from his minor-league pact with Chicago on Friday, but finds himself back with the team after a few days testing free agency. The 33-year-old had a .220/.312/.351 slash line over 413 plate appearances with the Indians over the past two seasons, and should serve as organizational outfield depth for the White Sox.

• Brandon Guyer: Released by White Sox

  03/22/2019 • By RotoWire

  Guyer was released by the White Sox on Friday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports. Guyer's .217 batting average in 11 spring games didn't help him claim a spot on Chicago's bench, and he'll have to look elsewhere for work. The 33-year-old has posted a wRC+ of 76 and 82 in the last two seasons, so he may have to head to Triple-A to wait for his next chance.
