The Cleveland Guardians signed right-hander Paul Sewald to a one-year deal on Wednesday with a mutual option for 2026.
Financial terms were not disclosed by the club but the deal guarantees Sewald $7 million — $1 million signing bonus, $5 million salary for 2025, $1 million buyout on the 2026 mutual option, according to ESPN and The Athletic. Sewald would make $10 million in 2026 if both sides agree to pick up the option, per the reports.
Sewald, 34, went 1-2 with a 4.31 ERA and 16 saves in 42 relief appearances with the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2024. He is 20-25 with a 4.09 ERA and 84 saves in 359 career relief appearances with the New York Mets (2017-20), Seattle Mariners (2021-23) and Diamondbacks.
To make room for Sewald on the 40-man roster, the Guardians designated RHP Pedro Avila for assignment.
