Figured I would start a Guardians thread since baseball is starting back up. Josh. Aylir took and passed his physical yesterday, thats good news. Bieber is 100%. Jose looks like Jose. Would love to sign an OF that can hit for power.

Assume you mean Josh Naylor passed his physical? RH OF Nick Castellanos would be a great pickup for Cleveland, but I would be stunned beyond belief if that happened.

Yes I meant Josh Naylor, stupid phone keyboard.

I think this new team nickname is WORSE than the Washington Commanders and Commanders IS BAD!

At least you can’t call them the Commies.

They should have went with the Sentinels to pay homage to the movie " The Replacements".

If I ever call them anything besides "Cleveland", it might be "G-Men". Or not. "Guardians" is retarded. Nobody ever cared about the statues on the Lorain-Carnegie Bridge. It was never an ingrained part of life in Cleveland like the team tried to sell it as. Its just lame.

Big moves coming out of the corner of Carnegie and Ontario!

It's the " Tribe " hello.

No, no it's not. No matter how stubborn one decides to be.

has anyone actually purchased Guardians gear?

Maybe not the Indians, Tribe, or Wahoos anymore, but they are still the Featherheads, based on their awful new logo. Either that or ... Paulie Walnuts, anybody?

Can't wait to hear Tom Hamilton calling the games. 31 years of calling baseball.


I wonder if he makes any references to the Tribe ?



I will not own anything Guardian !

I will never go back and watch baseball in Cleveland. My team the Indians are no more. Hope this team does not get supported and they move.

This past August, the Guardians and the city of Cleveland agreed to a 15 year lease extension through 2036 with an option the city can extend an additional 10 years keeping the team here through at least 2046. They aren't going anywhere for a long time.

they have been the Tribe since around 1915 .. Stubborn , maybe.

In the end, Cleveland could have a professional "dung" shoveling team and I would root for them.

I will always have a Wahoo hat as long as they can be found somewhere or the last one I own still has threads holding it together. That said, Guardians it is even if I don't like the change in name.

We've been linked to Trevor Story too but that seems unrealistic.

I find it hilarious how some people get so worked up about a name change but would welcome with open arms a QB with 22 civil suits over sexual misconduct pending. You couldn't make that kind of BS up if you tried.

I don't know what happens with Freeman, but is it possible the Braves are planning on Olson being their DH? It would also allow them to get Freeman off his feet once a week or so, and let him DH.

Olson is is the best fielding first basemen in the league.

I'm not worked up, although I would have preferred the Cleveland Sliders over the Guardians. Sliders sound more like baseball. Sliding into second base.

I just hope the animal activists don't want to take animal names off a team's nickname.

I still wish they would have just called them the tribe.

Let's see how it plays out. The NL just opened a DH slot, so maybe it isn't over.

As for pay, face it, if the Yankees, Mets, Dodgers and maybe a few others, if money is Freddies motivation, then he will leave because those teams are in different money leagues. The Braves can't outbid those teams.

j/c:

Get 'er done!

Oh boy.

I can't imagine they do this. His contract is sooooo team-friendly.

Are you kidding me? Matt Dolan needs some more cash for his soon-to-fail Senate run! Ramireiz is a goner, lol.

Sooooooo team friendly. Nowhere else can you get a hitter like Jose for 2yrs/$24 million, and he is already here. If they trade Jose, I might pack this season in, and pick them back up in ‘23.

Who? And who cares? When Dolan sells and the Indians return, I will be back. Hope the dozen people who were "offended" by the team name are happy. SMH

I guess we just disagree, and seems that Freddie has as well. I can agree if we didn't try to sign him or offered some low contract. I guess we will find out when we see what Freddie signs for. Trust me, I don't like it any more than you, but baseball is insane with the money being paid and the reality is that most teams just can't compete with the mega markets because the broadcast rights are just way above what even a city like Atlanta can generate. That's money you just can't make up by raising ticket prices or trying to charge broadcasters what the Yankees or Dodgers can charge.

Freeman signed with the Dodgers, 6 years $162M. That's less than I expected; I thought he'd wind up somewhere north of $30M per year.
