While Bailey has posted -0.2 bWAR this season with a .146 batting average and one homer in 82 at-bats, his elite defense is a big reason why Cleveland is adding Bailey.
He's not going to be an offensive piece for this team, but his defense should be a nice upgrade over their current catcher duo of Bo Naylor and Austin Hedges.
Bo Naylor hasn't been a great catcher this season, as he's hit just .143 with a .438 OPS this season. Compared to Bailey's .146 average and .396 OPS, there's not enough of a difference that can make up the difference for Bailey's elite defense.
According to Zack Meisel of The Athletic, Naylor is being optioned to Triple-A, so the Guardians now will trot out Bailey and Hedges at the catcher spot this season, focusing on their defense and Hedges' surprisingly solid offense this season.
All in all, the Guardians are not losing much of anything offensively, but they now get a massive upgrade on the defensive side of things. This is a nice move for the Guardians, as they upgrade their defense without sustaining too much of a hit offensively.
