Cleveland Guardians stand idle in free agency. Will waiting too long leave the lineup exposed heading into the 2024 season?
Jeff Ellis breaks down the Guardians’ cautious approach, spotlighting missed opportunities like Rob Refsnyder and exploring potential pivot targets including Austin Hays, Romy Gonzalez, and Alec Bohm. The conversation dives into Cleveland’s evolving bench, questions surrounding David Fry, and the need for right-handed bats to balance the lineup. Advanced MLB data sharing changes and potential conflicts of interest in league technology contracts also come under scrutiny.
Plus, a deep look at rising ace Gavin Williams reveals why his stellar second half may not be fully sustainable, highlighting the role of elite infield defense and evolving pitch mix. Can Williams anchor the rotation as Cleveland awaits its next big move? Stay tuned for all the latest on prospects, trades, and the Guardians’ hunt for offensive firepower.
