Cleveland Guardians (2026 Season Thread)

Most people know this, but with new “challenge” rules, catchers who can “frame” will be less important.

Hedges is nasty as a pitch caller and defensively, but even $4M on a tight budget seems excessive to me……but I trust Vogt signed off on it, so I’m good.

…..I don’t think I’ll ever get over the awful trade of Josh Naylor that cost us more $$$ to bring Carlos Santana in….Still at a loss.

Apparently Jose Ramirez wanted him in the clubhouse, so I don't mind keeping that man happy.

I think the Naylor trade was the right one....one year of Naylor versus 6 for Cecconi. We weren't going to pay him, so we were going to lose him, and not even get the high comp pick in return.
