Guardians agree with C Austin Hedges on $4 million, 1-year contract pending physical, AP source says

The Cleveland Guardians are reuniting with Austin Hedges, agreeing with the popular veteran catcher on a $4 million, one-year contract, a person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press on Sunday. Hedges, who played in Cleveland from 2020-22, will sign the contract once he passes a physical, said the person who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the deal can't be finalized until the medical tests are completed. The Guardians made two moves with their catching on Sunday, trading Christian Bethancourt to the Miami Marlins.
