The Guardians are bringing outfielder Nolan Jones back to Cleveland, acquiring him from the Colorado Rockies in exchange for infielder/outfielder Tyler Freeman on Saturday.
Jones, 26, was a second-round draft pick by Cleveland in 2016 and debuted in 2022, but played in only 28 major league games before he was dealt to Colorado for infielder Juan Brito in November 2022.
In 2023 with the Rockies, Jones finished fourth in National League Rookie of the Year voting, batting .297 with 20 home runs, 22 doubles, four triples, 20 stolen bases and 62 RBIs in 106 games.
Over parts of three seasons with Cleveland and Colorado, Jones has hit .265 with 25 home runs and 103 RBIs in 213 games, with 40 doubles, five triples and 25 stolen bases.
Freeman, 25, was a second-round selection by Cleveland in 2017 who can play multiple positions, including outfield, second base, shortstop and third base.
In parts of three seasons with the Guardians since debuting in 2022, Freeman hit .223 with 11 home runs, 24 doubles, one triple, 17 stolen bases and 53 RBIs in 206 games.
