As for Kayfus, time to turn Santana into a defensive replacement vs righties and DH vs lefties. If you can deal Santana at the deadline to a contender who needs a veteran bat. He can definitely hit lefties, always could. Ditch Fry and let Kayfus play.

Promote CDL and let him play RF. Doesn't really matter who you have to move out for that. They all suck really.

Said this before, in retrospect 2024 was distorted because of a freakish bullpen performance - made larger by overusing everyone out there (how many 70 + appearances guys were there...crazy?) and now they are largely burned out.

Glad the starters are showing promise but this is a retool year at this point. Start developing.

Mark, I agree 100%. At the same time Vogt says he does not like platoons ! At the same time the Guardians have the most lineups with a platoon !

Manzardo can have 3 hits and sit the next game because there is a LH starter ! Very silly, FO and manager both acting like they are attempting to throw the season.

Vogt is giving Jones the opportunity to face left and right hand pitching, it's time to do the same with Manzardo. One of the few power bats the Guards have should not be platooning.
