Guardians Could Have Interest In Matt Olson
3 years agoThe Cleveland Guardians could have interest in trading for Oakland Athletics first baseman Matt Olson when/if Major League Baseball's lockout ends. If the Guardians did swing a deal for Olson, current first baseman Bobby Bradley would probably be one of the players headed to the A's, along with a middle infielder and possibly a starting pitcher. Olson is still under club control for two more years and is eligible for salary arbitration. His salary is projected to be $12 million for the 2022 season. The 27-year-old left-handed slugger slashed .271/.371/.540 with a .911 OPS, a career-high 39 home runs, 111 RBI and 101 runs scored in 156 games (673 plate appearances) for his first All-Star nod in 2021.
