Dusten Knight - Receives NRI deal from Cleveland Knight agreed to a minor-league contract with the Guardians on Wednesday that includes an invitation to MLB spring training, Paul Hoynes of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. Impact Knight was designated for assignment by the Rays at the end of the 2022 season, and he elected free agency after he was sent outright to Triple-A Durham. The 32-year-old right-hander made six appearances for Tampa Bay in 2022, and he finished with a 5.73 ERA with a 1.36 WHIP in 11 innings. A strong spring training could see Knight earn one of the final spots in the Cleveland bullpen, but he's likelier to open 2023 in the rotation at Triple-A Columbus.
