The Guardians won two great games, then lost two awful games. Sounds like the 2026 season to me.
They now head to Tampa to try to get their season on track. I would guess Angel Martinez will be activated and I think the tea leaves read a Daniel Schneemann demotion. Hopefully, that will mean everyday AB’s for Angel and Petey Halpin rightfully in a pinch-runner/defensive replacement role.
Jayson Stark of the Athletic looked at current players’ Hall of Fame cases and Jose Ramirez joins Francisco Lindor
and Salvador Perez in the “Across the 50” category. Not sure how Manny Machado and Bryce Harper are in the category ABOVE Jose, but whatevs.
AROUND MLB:
The Tigers beat the Royals in their continued push fo force their management not to trade Tarik Skubal.
