Guardians Prospects Trenton Deholm (SP, Surprise): 4IP, 3H, 2BB, 6K - Another pretty good outing for Denholm in the AFL. It’s hard to truly evaluate his knuckleball development because he continues to look like a pitcher who throws a knuckleball rather than a knuckleball pitcher. He only threw six t...

It seems likely that they'll nontender some of the OFs they have on hand. We can hope Nolan Jones, they have never seen enamored with JRod and he's not done much. Forgot about Gomez and Antunez! They have occasionally surprised with relievers; that's why I thought of the 3 I noted. And maybe they'll...

So the roster is down to 37 with some very cuttable players remaining; I guess Zak Kent was retained since he makes the minimum. I guess Aleman was retained because his stuff still looks good although results were not. All those sub-mediocre OFs are still subject to the non-tender deadline of Novemb...

That will be proof!

Meisel story notes some relatively big spending last winter was not so effective:
$6M for some reason to Paul Sewald
$12M to Carlos Santana

Guardians Prospects: Alfonsin Rosario ( DH, Surprise): 1-for-4, CS - Rosario recorded his lone hit on the day back in the second inning on a ball the other way to right. He also reached on an error and struck out twice in his other at-bats. Rosario was moved down in the order with his struggles sinc...

Is he a Vogt guy? They weren't together too long; and during 2024 he demoted Brennan midseason

BA is beginning it's winter Top 10 projections and lenghty chats for all 30 teams, one at time. CLE's comes in early December. Meanwhile today they rate the Nationals and one of their best is LHP Alex Clemmey, a CLE 2nd round draft pick out of high school. Traded for Lane Thomas. Thomas was a big he...

Needs for the Guardians are obvious to all. The likelihood of doing what everyone knows is necessary is very slim.

I've been a JRod hopeful for many many years, but now that I've seen him in big leagues, only a bit I realize, I have lost my faith in him I drop Jones and JRod. I guess I keep Noel since we need SOME RH bats although his career arc looks a lot like Oscar Gonzalez' Otherwise I say goodbye to Kent [c...

Yes Wilson may be a world series star for someone in 5 years!
I assume Jones will get unanimous votes off the island

What about Kent and Nikhazy?

they need to drop at least 3 to get to 40; and will need to add a few new names, too

Would Forum like to vote on who to dump from the winter 40 man roster; there are 43 at present including guys on 60 day IL who are counted in again shortly. I assume Matt Kroek and catcher Nunez will be dropped. Reliever Franco Aleman had a very bad season in Columbus What do you think we should do ...

That surprises me. I would have thought he'd look for a multiyear deal somewhere. Sone pretty nondescript pitchers signed similar or better deals last winter [Alex Cobb got $15M from Detroit]; Reliever Tanner Scott got $72M for 4 years from the Dodgers.

as noted before, LaViolette, Walton, Schuber; along with Caceres, Rosario, Antunez, Chourio and Robert Arias give the Guardians a large number of OF among their top prospects and will once again test their ability to develop any of them into major leaguers, not exactly the system's strength over the...

GUARDIANS PROSPECTS Alfonsin Rosario (RF, Surprise): 1-3, 3 R, 1 RBI, 2 BB, 1 K, 1 SB - While Rosario trio of trips to the basepaths on Tuesday included a base hit, his second RBI of the autumnal campaign came on a bases-loaded walk in the bottom of the eighth. Winter batting average: 120 OPS 410 Ju...
