Nest Year in Cleveland writer on the roster moves: Truth be told, following this organization, as long as I have, it wasn’t that hard to have an idea of what they would do. Most years, I have gotten their rule 5 roster decisions correct, save for a player or two. I don’t have any inside info on most...

Paul Hoynes is especially concerned about Tolentino noting his 21 homeruns this summer in AAA; but also noted this stat: 158 K in 394 AB. I was hoping some vets would be non-tendered to make room for a couple prospects, probably Antunez and Perez. I still don't understand why the non-tender deadline...

AND jONES STAYS WITH US.
I'd rather have Antunez. Or lots of others.
Non tender deadline is ahead of us. But I think it's too late to add other guys to the protected roster?

Deadline to add players to avoid
Rule 5 is in 3:30. At present 3 openings on the roster. Plenty of candidates to be removed therefrom. Guardians usually make their announcment at about 5:59 p.m.

I remain amazed by MLB's incompetence in the betting crisis. 1. They allowed these absurb single pitch bets in the first place. 2. They had NO IDEA for 2 YEARS that anything was happening?????????????????? 3. They still haven't banned these kind of single pitch bets. Not sure that a Congressional in...

Here's a You Tube interview with Espino. Don't know if you can open it

Baseball America highlights Arizona League prospects: 7 Arizona Fall League Players Who Boosted Their Stock In 2025 we’ve compiled a list of seven AFL players whose 2025 performances could mean an awful lot to their careers moving forward. Daniel Espino, RHP, Guardians In any other scenario, mention...

Yes, nice to see Velazquez recognized for his very solid second half offense in Lake County and in Akron.
Chourio has of course fallen way out of the Top 100.
Braylon Doughty may not be far behind
And maybe Espino who in extremely limited time looked top notch in Arizona.

No more "uncertainty about closer Emmanuel Clase"

Remember how much trouble Bo Naylor had dealing with Clase pitches in the dirt; leading to the embarrassment of being replaced by Hedges when Clase came in for a one-run save. Turns out some of those wild pitches may have been intentional. What a great teammate

Jones, besides being awful, has enough time in to now qualify for arbitration. The two sites I've looked at project he gets $2M. For this team that salary should be too much to bear. Lively projected at $2.75M and unavailable due to TJ surgery and Allard projected at $1.9M and a useful pitcher were ...

Kent is a lot cheaper than their $7M investment last year in Sewald; and similar year before for Barlow. Neither of whom was worth the money. Unfortunately the worst OFs are also the only RH hitters they have out there. But they've never appeared much interested in JRod-- they let him go through Rul...

I skimmed the list and found some interesting names, mainly just looking for ex-Indi/Guardians 3 regular starting pitchers of not too long : Zach Plesac, Cal Quantrill, Adam Plutko A top prospect: Catcher Francisco Mejia;j a high draft pick Lenny Torres. Some other draftees who never made it to the ...

The details in the complaint, I think I read them all in the Athletic are damning! Clase was in this effort for 3 years including in the playoffs! He made money 3 ways: 1. paid for his own pre-planned pitches 2. paid for Ortiz's pre-planned pitches 3. bets he placed on one or both of the above. The ...
