Earlier this offseason, the team avoided arbitration with all seven of its arbitration-eligible players by signing them to one-year contracts.

On Monday, the Guardians announced on X that they have agreed to one-year contracts for the 2024 season with all 25 of their pre-arbitration-eligible players.

Here is a positional breakdown of the latest group of players Cleveland has signed to one-year contracts.
