GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- Spring Training’s methodical pace won’t make for any quick picks to fill the second base void in Cleveland. As the first week in the desert drew to a close Saturday, one of the key questions the Guardians face -- make that, the question -- remains how to

Greetings from Goodyear, Ariz.! I’m Anthony Castrovince, your temporary guide to all things Guards until our new beat reporter takes over in the very near future. I first covered the Cleveland club for MLB.com as an intern in 2004. The pitching coach way back then was a guy named Carl

CLEVELAND -- Baseball season is finally here, so it’s time to get prepared. The Guardians and Major League Baseball officially launched CLEGUARDIANS.TV on Feb. 11. This will be a new, direct-to-consumer, blackout-free streaming service produced by MLB for the 2025 season. Watch all available CLEGUARDIANS.TV Spring Training games free. Simply

GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- He was there in Progressive Field’s lower bowl, his 6-foot-5 frame an exclamation mark that gave him away in that sea of red-clad dots. There would be no anonymity for Triston McKenzie when he attended two of the Guardians’ home playoff games last October. The fans around

GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- Far away from the intensity of baseball, from the flames depicted on the scoreboard, from the mound where he delivers those triple-digit heaters, from the spotlight of being one of the most accomplished closers in Major League Baseball, Emmanuel Clase finds quiet and serenity on his Dominican

GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- It’s better here in big league camp, Guardians prospect Chase DeLauter is discovering. Not that DeLauter's experience last year in what the club refers to as “depth camp” -- basically, an extra stash of young prospects getting reps and absorbing innings and at-bats -- was bad. But

This page will be updated throughout the year with all the latest Guardians injury news and transactions.

Were you like all of us, a little giddy seeing actual baseball on TV over the last week? Last weekend was the start of the college season. On Thursday, there was a real-life Spring Training game on. One of the best parts of Grapefruit and Cactus League action is we

Spring may not have arrived quite yet, but Spring Training has! Players have reported to camp and exhibition games kick off Thursday with the Cubs visiting the Dodgers in Glendale, Ariz.

As the sounds of bats cracking and gloves popping echo across the diamonds of Florida and Arizona, baseball's top prospects will be digging in to push for spots on Major League Opening Day rosters. Although most of these prospects will begin the season in the Minors, there are a handful

GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- By the time it actually arrived, “first full-squad workout” was strictly a ceremonial title. The daily schedule mapped out in intricate ink by field coordinator Kai Correa was fully fleshed out for the first time, necessitating double-sided printing. But by this point, all the 40-man and non-roster

GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- John Means will be continuing his recovery from Tommy John surgery under the employ of the Cleveland Guardians, who on Wednesday signed the veteran left-hander to a one-year Major League deal that includes a club option for 2026.

After Spring Breakout's dynamic debut last year, the prospect showcase event returns in full force for 2025. All 30 Major League teams will field squads of top prospects to face off in 16 games from March 13-16 -- the Cubs and Nationals will play twice since there's an odd number

Umpires first began calling both balls and strikes way back in 1864, and baseballers have been arguing about those calls ever since. Strike-zone judgment has been the subject of some untold number of verbal (and, yes, sometimes even physical) tussles. It has led to outbursts, interruptions, ejections. The greatest managerial

Greetings! I’m Anthony Castrovince. Remember me from when I covered the Cleveland baseball team for MLB.com from 2006 to 2010? No?! Well, that’s rude. I remember you! Anyway, I’m here to guide you through everything happening during Spring Training camp out in Goodyear, Ariz., for a little while until our

Cleveland, OH – The Cleveland Guardians today announced their broadcast schedule for 2025 Cactus League play. The Guardians are scheduled to open the spring slate on February 22 as the visiting team against the Cincinnati Reds at Goodyear Ballpark.

GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- The response was unusual when the Guardians' general manager called Carlos Santana's agent to express interest in signing the veteran first baseman -- and two-time former Clevelander -- for the 2025 season. “You’ve got to be kidding me!” Ulises Cabrera said.

GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- “Oh my God, Biebs!” Austin Hedges voiced what a lot of people on-hand were thinking as he strolled into the bullpen area to catch Shane Bieber on Saturday morning. Here was the Guardians’ ace, who doubled as their key offseason acquisition, making the most significant step yet

When Spring Training arrives each year, there are certain players who have more on the line than others. These are players who were perhaps injured the previous season or didn't live up to expectations. This year is no exception, with many such individuals looking to make a big impact during

GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- The Guardians entered the offseason with needs. The bullpen was not one of them. Given the historically great performance from their relief corps in the 2024 run to the ALCS, the bullpen was the one element of this club (well, maybe outside that guy at third base)

GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- The Guardians made a late addition to their pitching pool by signing right-hander Jakob Junis to a one-year deal, which the club announced Sunday. It's a $4.5 million contract, according to a source. To make room for Junis on the 40-man roster, the Guardians placed lefty Sam

GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- The Guardians reached the ALCS last season despite very little going as planned/hoped in the rotation.
