Cleveland Guardians Use Patience, In Lieu Of Payroll, To Return To The Postseason

Cleveland Guardians have a new organizational system.

Cleveland Guardians are in need of money to get back to the post-season.

Cleveland Guardians finished with a record of 92-92 in 2022. They finished behind the White Sox. The team's payroll was near the bottom of the 30 major league teams. Terry Francona is a baseball shaman. . ... In 2022, only two American League teams had more victories than the Guardians.

The franchise was in trouble after a forgettable 2021 season and a do-nothing offseason. Now it's one of the scrappiest and hardest-to-beat teams in the majors.

Cleveland Guardians won 92-70 this year. They were down on their luck in 2020, but they managed to improve their roster. Steven Kwan, Jose Ramirez and Amed Rosario were key players. The team was able to keep them together. It was a good strategy for the future. They traded Francisco Lindor to the Mets for Andres Gimenez and signed Aed Rosaria. He was an All-Star. His contract extension was worth $141 million. This was the first time a player from the franchise left. Previous players had left the team because they couldn't afford to stay.
