Cleveland Guardians (2025 Season Thread)

Where is our 2026 Guardians thread;-)

Now, what happens with Kwan in the offseason? This is his final year under contract. That usually means a trade. Maybe he will go the Jose route, but how likely is that?

They definitely aren't forking over the money Kwan would probably get in the FA market.

they aren't signing any big names but if they could dig in the pockets and pick up like 2 even just barely average bats in the off-season that would be a gigantic improvement to the roster.

The in house platooning of clearly not even close to average MLB players is not and will continue to not work

Paul Hoynes of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, or whatever their name is now, asked an interesting question. Would you replace any of the players on the 95 team from this year’s starters? Jose for Jim Thome at 3rd? Kwan for Albert Belle?

It put in perspective how powerful the offense was 30 years ago.

Paul Sorrento is the only guy I’d find a way to replace…..I couldnt stand that guy in that stacked lineup…..always stuck out like a sore thumb.

Shit, I’d train Kwan to play first base just to get Sorrento out of the lineup.

We will sure as hell take him in Cincinnati.

We don’t have anything to give back to you right now still have to be a 68 trade.

(68 is like a 69 but we owe you one)

I saw a car a couple of years ago with a vanity plate of WANNA68. I think it was TN plates. I couldn’t stop laughing and then also wonder how it made it through the approval process.
