Will Guardians promote a reliever to an opener? Hey, Hoynsie
Hey, Hoynsie wants to know if Guardians will promote a reliever to an opener.
The Guards are going to open the game with an opener.
Cleveland is on a roll lately and has a good rotation. They have used an opener on occasion but not often.
Robert Wazeka wonders how many people approved the nickname ‘Guardians’ at the beginning of the season.
The people who led the movement to change the name to Guardians say it was the most popular alternative to Indians. The percentage of fans wearing Guardians gear and Indians gear at Progressive Field this season is close to an even split.
Hoynsie wonders if the Cleveland Indians will promote a reliever to an opener. Patrick Grijak reports Washington might be willing to trade Juan Soto.
Washington GM Mike Rizzo has said he is not trading his star outfielder Juan Soto. Sato won't be a free agent until after the 2024 season. He could be in line for a $300 million to $400 million deal.
Guardians are fun to watch in person and fun for fans. If the team stays healthy, they will get better as they go deeper into the season.
The Cleveland Indians are a good team to cover. Since Terry Francona has been in Cleveland, most of his teams have improved the deeper they get into the season.
Francisco Mejía, Cedric Mullins and Sal Perez would be good additions for the G's at the trade deadline next month.
The Guardians could use an offensive boost at catcher. They have already traded Mejia once. Bo Naylor is a possibility to join the team in the next couple of years. Perez is in Kansas City and he's a free agent until 2026. Mullins is off to a slow start this season. Guardians will promote a reliever to an opener.
Ted is surprised that Cleveland will go pitcher heavy in this year's draft. Last year, they used 19 of 21 picks to take pitchers.
Yu Chang was arrested for selling batting practice balls.
Chang is out of minor league options and Owen Miller beat him out. David hopes Chang does well with the Pirates.
Hoynsie thinks Willson Contreras would be a great trade target for Guardians before the deadline. Andrew thinks Cleveland can compete through the end of the year.
Will Guardians promote a reliever to an opener? Contreras would be a nice fit, but he's a free agent after this season. Carter Hawkins, the new GM, learned his craft in Cleveland.
