Cleveland has one of the deepest minor league systems in all of baseball, so plenty of talented position players got left off our Covering the Corner top-20.

The team may also come up with other TV partners but it's nice to have some direction.

They also announced new members of the broadcast team, including Cayleigh Griffin (backup sideline reporter), and a slew of LGFT pre/postgame analysts: Cody...

News and Notes for Monday, February 10th, 2025

We are so near to actual Guardians news, folks. Pitchers and catchers report to camp tomorrow.

Zack Meisel is doing a fun fan survey on the Athletic that my Android can't handle for some reason but maybe your phone/computer can.

Terry Pluto had some notes, one indicating maybe Angel Martinez is an option at second base, which is good with me.

Former Cleveland Guardian, Oscar Gonzalez was invited to spring training with the Padres on a non-roster invite. After his electric performance in 2022, Gonzalez struggled in the 2023 season with Cleveland. He spent most of the 2024 season in AAA for the Yankees system, before electing free agency and signing with the Padres this past November.

All this usually means a player is about to sign.

Tool Grades, Relevant Stats, and Supporting Rationale

From 17-year-olds in the Dominican Republic to former college super stars, the Cleveland Guardians' farm system is riddled with talent. The Guardians' player development and drafting is often lauded among the best in the league, and for good reason. Many sites are releasing their annual Top 100 prospects lists, and I have decided to take on the challenge of diving deep into...

As teams head to Arizona or Florida, some last minute roster adjustments seem needed, even for contending clubs like the Cleveland Guardians and Baltimore Orioles. Could we see a deal between these two 2024 American League playoff entrants?
