Guardians signed C Jake Anchia to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.
Anchia heads to Cleveland after spending the last seven years in Seattle’s system. The defensive-oriented backstop batted .210/.246/.358 with nine homers and three steals in 290 plate appearances last year for Double-A Arkansas. It’s no surprise the Guardians are bringing him in given his defensive abilities and the organization’s emphasis on pitching development.
