Guardians Secure Tanner Bibee with $48 Million Extension Through 2029

The 26-year-old pitcher will make his first Opening Day start on March 27, solidifying his role as the team's rotation leader.

Tanner Bibee signed a five-year, $48 million contract extension with the Cleveland Guardians, including a $21 million club option for 2030.
The deal buys out Bibee's arbitration years and secures up to two of his free-agent seasons, providing cost certainty for the team.
Bibee has become a cornerstone of the Guardians' rotation, posting a 22-12 record with a 3.25 ERA over his first two MLB seasons.
He stepped up as a leading pitcher in 2024 following Shane Bieber's Tommy John surgery and is set to anchor the rotation in 2025.
Bibee will make his first career Opening Day start on March 27 against the Kansas City Royals, highlighting his key role in the Guardians' plans.
