Latest news and updates about the Guardians
Another lackluster effort from the A’s dropped their early spring record to 0-2 after a second straight loss, this time to a different AL Central foe in the Cleveland Guardians. The A’s couldn’t bounce back after a rough third inning and now they’re 0-2 to start 2026. Good thing spring stats and records don’t matter! […]

Rhys Hoskins is now a Guardian, agreeing to a deal with Cleveland on Sunday morning. His lengthy stay in free agency and non-guaranteed deal indicate that he wasn’t in high demand. However, there was at least one team that showed some interest in him, according to this report from Devan Kaney: That certainly got Phillies […]

The Cincinnati Reds dropped their Cactus League opener on Saturday as the Cleveland Guardians downed them to the tune of 4 to 2. The good news, though, is twofold. For one, the final score of these games means absolutely nothing right now. Second, today the Reds are actually rolling out a lineup full of their […]

We’re less than a week from baseball games! The Brewers get their Cactus League slate underway on Saturday afternoon against the Guardians.

Andrés Giménez is a 27-year-old, left-handed hitting, middle infielder. The Jays picked him up in trade from the Guardians in early December 2024, along with Nick Sandlin for Spencer Horwitz and minor leaguer Nick Mitchell. Horwitz was quickly flipped to the Pirates. Horwitz hit .272/.353/.434 with 11 home runs for Pittsburgh, playing first base with […]

Over the last couple of years, a number of MLB teams have had their RSN deals either end or collapse, and their TV rights have reverted to the league.

It has been expected (by me, at least) ever since Main Street/FanDuel Sports Network (the successor to Diamond/Bally) missed a broadcast rights payment to the Cardinals back in December, and now it’s happening: a whole bunch more clubs are returning their local broadcast rights to Major League Baseball, as had happened previously over the last year+ with the Padres, Diamondbacks, Twins, Rockies, Nationals, and Guardians. Up to eight more teams, formerly having their rights at Diamond/Ball...

The Cubs had played a bit better after the All-Star break in 2022, but were still far out of first place, or indeed, any contention. They had picked up Franmil Reyes on waivers from the Guardians in early August. Just one year earlier, Reyes had a 30-homer season for Cleveland (and had hit 37 for […]

Things aren’t going well for the Cleveland Cavaliers this year.

Anne Rogers writes about the Royals landing Lane Thomas. After that uneven 2024, Thomas was limited to 39 games and 125 at-bats for the Guardians in 2025, mostly due to a lingering case of plantar fasciitis in his right foot, which required surgery in September. And before that, Thomas missed a month with a right […]

The Jays picked up Myles Straw in trade from the Guardians, along with some international bonus pool money. At the time, we thought we were getting Roki Sasaki, and the bonus money would go to him. It didn’t happen. We were to send Cleveland a ‘player to be named’. I don’t know if that player […]

The last decade has been a journey for Matthew Boyd, from trying to break through as a young starter with the Tigers, to suffering injuries and trying to make it back with the Mariners as a reliever, to returning to the Tigers as a starter, to having surgery and making it back with the Guardians, to breaking out as an All-Star with the Cubs this past season. He’ll return to the Cubs’ rotation in 2026, hopefully as effective as he was in 2025, and maybe a touch better able to sustain the c...
