Near the top of the Guardians’ list is the trade of third baseman Junior Caminero to the Rays for right-hander Tobias Myers on Nov. 19, 2021. Caminero, 21, is hitting .256 (77 for 301) with 20 homers, 51 RBI and a .811 OPS this season for the Rays.
Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernández is the reigning Derby champion after beating Kansas City Royals star Bobby Witt Jr. in the 2024 final. He does not plan to defend his title this year. Here's every slugger who has been announced to be competing in this year's event.
Like teammates Jonathan Aranda, Yandy Diaz, Brandon Lowe, Ryan Pepiot and Drew Rasmussen, Caminero is hoping to either be elected in the players vote or appointed to the team by Major League Baseball officials filling out the 32-man rosters.
