If the team continues to slump, whom should they deal?
The Guardians might just be bad in 2025. If so, what can they do at the July trade deadline to be a good team in 2026?
If the next month doesn’t bring some drastic changes, the Guardians really need to switch to a “seller” mindset by the trade deadline with the goal of shoring up their roster for 2026 and beyond. If that happens, which players should they move, and which players will they...

I skipped a series preview, did anyone notice?
When I was first introduced to the sport of baseball at the age of 11 (my dad wasn’t a baseball guy), I decided to root for the Cleveland Indians and the Chicago Cubs. Within a year, I realized it was the right thing to root for your hometown team (the Browns moved so my affection for the Chicago Bears remained), so I abandoned my Cubs’ fandom. This week, I have the potential to be reminded, yet again, that...

Columbus Clippers 3, Iowa Cubs 9Box Score · Clippers fall to 38-40
This one got ugly in a hurry behind the worst start of the season from Parker Messick. Messick was tattooed for seven runs on seven hits with two strikeouts and three walks in 1.2 innings.
C.J. Kayfus reached base three times, going 1-for-3 with a pair of walks. As did Christian Cairo, who went 2-for-3 with a double and a walk.
The lone pitching bright...

Lets dive into the young shortstop’s AAA performance
With an injury to Gabriel Arias, and Rocchio absent from the Clippers lineup, it is looking like Rocchio may be recalled. Arias received an x-ray, and the results were negative, but seeing as he was carted off the field an IL stint seems likely. Regardless, Rocchio’s AAA production is worth taking a look at.
After making the opening day roster as the starting shortstop, Brayan Rocchio had a...

News and Notes for Monday, June 30th, 2025
Things are dire with the Cleveland Guardians.
They lost another shutout, 7-0, in which they made two errors and had three hits. It was their fourth loss in a row. It included more bullpen meltdowns for Tim Herrin and Hunter Gaddis. Nicole had the unenviable job of recapping it here.
Gabriel Arias sustained an ankle sprain that looks like it'll keep him out for a bit. Arias's good defense...

Another shutout sweep for Cleveland.
The Cleveland Guardians have once again found themselves below .500 and looking to avoid another sweep.
Logan T. Allen immediately got into trouble, giving up a one-out walk and a single. With two outs, LTA threw a 77.1 mph sweeper in the zone for Nolan Gorman who launched it to right center field. The Cardinals took an early 3-0 lead.
The Guards had the opportunity to get on the board and potentially take the...
What does this team need?
I sat at the feet of the shaman as he slowly smoked his pipe filled with mapacho tobacco.
He looked at me and said, “There is something bothering you, little brother.”
I was quiet for a moment, trying to verbalize what I was feeling... and then said, “Yes… there is. But it’s kind of strange.”
He nodded. “Tell me. I’m listening.”
“My favorite team is the Cleveland Guardians,” I said. “At the start of this season, you could see they...
Palabras del Chaman
A los pies del chamán, contemplé en silencio mientras él fumaba lentamente su pipa llena de tabaco de mapacho.
El chamán me miró con calma y dijo:
—Hay algo que te está molestando, hermanito.
Me quedé en silencio un momento, tratando de poner en palabras lo que sentía… y luego dije:
—Sí… la verdad es que sí. Pero es algo un poco raro.
Él asintió.
—Dímelo. Te escucho.
—Mi equipo favorito son los Guardianes de Cleveland. Al comenzar esta...

Cleveland Guardians minor league recap for Sunday, June 29, 2025
Columbus Clippers 4, Iowa Cubs 2Box Score · Clippers improve to 38-39
Chase DeLauter batted leadoff Saturday and he led off the game with a home run, his fourth of the season. He is batting .311 with a .949 OPS for Columbus, which would lead all players on the Guardians, including Jose Ramirez. Perhaps the most promising part of DeLauter’s home run was he did it against MLB veteran Kenta Maeda.
Chase DeLauter takes 9-year...

News and Notes for Sunday, June 29th, 2025
I was just listening to a podcast asking whether it was worse for fans to have an inept offense or an unreliable bullpen. Right now, the Guardians have both.
The Guardians lost 9-6 to the Cardinals after taking a 6-1 lead. This was a team effort from Slade Cecconi who faltered in the fifth, giving up two runs, Matt Festa who couldn't get an out and Tim Herrin who couldn't clean it up, and Stephen Vogt who stuck with Kolby...

The offense showed signs of life despite the loss
The Guardians have lost another game. This one wasn’t quite as miserable as the last few due to the offense showing some life and scoring six runs. It was nice to see Manzardo, Arias, and Jones all have success. Hopefully that can continue over the next few months. It’s also important that Lane Thomas continues to look like himself, not just for winning games but also so they can trade him at the deadline...

Columbus Clippers (37-39) - AAABox Score
COL 6 - IOW 15
The Iowa Cubs absolutely wiped the Columbus Clippers last night. Things were looking great in the top of the first when C.J. Kayfus hit a two-out homer to put the Clippers on the board first.
C.J. Kayfus' 3rd homer of the series is a solo shot in the first inning!
He now extends his on-base streak to 17 games and puts the @CLBClippers up 1-0. pic.twitter.com/U8Ckc1K8mi

News and Notes for Saturday, June 28th, 2025
The Guardians weren't themselves offensively yesterday and lost a tough one 5-0 to the Cardinals.
What they saw from Sonny Gray yesterday was a pitcher who changed speeds and eye-levels effectively. This is a good offense, they just need to find a way to get things to click. Gray needed only 89 pitches to throw a complete game shutout, allowing one baserunner. But that baserunner was a Nolan Jones hit - look how he is...

Another horrific performance from the offense.
Bad.
This lineup performed basically exactly like you’d expect a lineup without your franchise superstar to perform.
Sonny Gray twirled 9 almost perfect innings, striking out 11 Guardians while only surrendering 1 hit. He did all that on 89 pitches. Another maddux. The second in a month.
Ortiz was fine. With some run support, he would’ve been better.
7 innings of 4-run ball, 5 strikeouts, 6 hits, 1 walk....

Columbus Clippers 6, Iowa Cubs 5Box Score · Clippers improve to 37-38
Don’t look now, but Columbus is on fire and nearly back to .500. I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that the Clippers have two position players that should be at MLB right now or anything.
Speaking of, C.J. Kayfus went 1-for-4 with a walk to reach base safely twice. Jhonkensy Noel went 3-for-5 with two doubles while Will Wilson went 1-for-3...

News and Notes for Friday, June 27th, 2025
Chase DeLauter didn't play for Columbus last night, but it was a scheduled day off and he was seen in the dugout. The Guardians didn't play well in Cleveland yesterday, and they were all seen in the dugout when the Blue Jays intentionally tried to harm their best player.
So, yesterday was a frustrating game. The Guardians got absolutely dominated by Kevin Gausman AGAIN. I'd say teams should study his game-plan to find ways...
