Guardians News

The Guardians are gearing up for their home opener against the Cubs today at Progressive Field, a game that highlights a fresh start for the team this season. As they take the field, all eyes will be on Chase DeLauter, who has emerged as the perfect No. 2 hitter, showcasing his potential to elevate the Guardians' offense early on. It's hard not to reflect on Paul Sewald, a former free agent bust for Cleveland, now thriving in the D-backs' bullpen, it serves as a reminder of what could have been. Meanwhile, the Cubs, sitting at a balanced 3-3, bring a mix of good baserunning and a solid pitching staff, setting the stage for an exciting series. With festivities planned, including a first pitch from hockey gold medalist Laila Edwards, the atmosphere promises to be electric as the Guardians aim to find their rhythm at home.

Will Any Pre-Arbitration Pitchers Sign Extensions?
From a transaction perspective, this time of the baseball calendar is defined by extensions.
