Andruw Monasterio

Andruw Monasterio (born May 30, 1997) is a Venezuelan professional baseball infielder who is currently a free agent.
In 2014, at age 17, Monasterio tried out for the Chicago Cubs at the organization's Venezuelan academy. The Cubs were impressed and signed him to a contract. Originally a shortstop, Monasterio began seeing regular time as a second baseman starting in the 2016 season with the South Bend Cubs. On August 21, 2018, the Cubs traded Monasterio for Washington Nationals infielder Daniel Murphy and cash considerations. Monasterio was assigned to the Potomac Nationals of the Class A-Advanced Carolina League, contributing key offense to the Potomac lineup within days of joining the Nationals organization.
Baseball scout Adam McInturff of 2080 Baseball described Monasterio in 2018 as a "high-floor prospect" with "above-average" defense, but not much power on offense.
Monasterio was traded to the Cleveland Indians on December 17, 2018. He began 2019 with the Akron RubberDucks.
Monasterio re-signed with the Indians as a minor league free agent on November 17, 2020. Monasterio elected free agency on November 7, 2021.
