Guardians News
The Cleveland Guardians managed to even up the Ohio Cup series against the Reds last night, but one glaring issue remains: Tanner Bibee is getting next to no run support when he takes the mound. Despite that, José Ramírez appears to be finding his groove after being moved to the No. 2 spot in the lineup, a change that could reignite his power. Meanwhile, Angel Martínez is stealing the spotlight, showcasing why many believe he’s on the verge of superstar status with a 125 wRC+ and his recent two-run homer that helped secure the win. Even as Steven Kwan struggles, dropping from the leadoff spot for the first time in years, the Guardians seem to have a promising young core ready to break out, blending potential with the urgency of the season.
