Locked On Guardians - Daily Podcast On The Cleveland Guardians

It's another crossover edition of Locked On Guardians, talking to Nick Murawski of Locked On White Sox. We discuss how much of an impact Pedro Grifol can make on the White Sox compared to 2022. We find out what else the White Sox are looking to change from 2022 in order to battle the Guardians for the AL Central division title in 2023. We learn that White Sox fans are terrified of Jose Ramirez every time he steps to the plate and why there's no love lost between White Sox fans and Josh Naylor. Also discussed is how even and interesting the pitching matchup between the two clubs could be depending on how things shake up. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The Cleveland Guardians 2023 Opening Day roster is coming a little more into focus with the recent roster moves over the weekend. We get into what's next as they continue to shape their roster. An unfortunate development over the weekend, as Nick Mikolajchak sustained an arm injury in a game as the team awaits an official diagnosis this week. Andrés Giménez returns to Guardians spring training as Venezuela is knocked out of the WBC. Is now the time to get him signed to an extension? Logan Allen was mentioned in a story over the weekend as seeing a slightly velocity bump this spring training. We talk about what that means for his future. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

We have more conspiracy theories about Cleveland Guardians prospect Gavin Williams and if he will make his debut in 2023. There could be some interesting decisions made for the Guardians opening day roster, including the outfield and bullpen with Hunter Gaddis. MLB says the umpires are going to be cracking down on sticky stuff among other rules for pitchers this year. We get into the effects of that on the Guardians. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

As the season draws closer, we start to dig into the AL Central Matchups. On this crossover edition of Locked On Guardians and Locked On Twins, we discuss the Twins' injuries in 2022 and how they are a deeper team in 2023, how the Guardians and Twins rotations stack up against each other, which players are the biggest pests to the other team, and if the Guardians style of play has made the Twins re-evaluate their strategy.

Pi Day (3.14) features two major numbers in Cleveland baseball history. Two retired numbers, in fact. We discuss those two numbers, who else wore them, and which player will have their number retired by Cleveland next? FanDuel released a set of MLB power rankings/tiers recently. We debate the Guardians place in the rankings, if they should be higher, and what other teams should move up or down in the rankings. The Guardians continue to make moves to cut down their roster in advance of the regular season. One move on the recent set of cuts might signal a future plan of how they will handle the roster.

With Andrés Giménez playing shortstop for Team Venezuela in the World Baseball Classic, we debate when and if Cleveland should move him back to shortstop, and why his contract status and keystone partner matters. Cleveland apparently has had a long-standing interest in Cam Gallagher over the years, so we talk about why he basically seems to have the backup catcher spot wrapped up. We also get into there being no surprises in who the Guardians have already optioned down to minor league camp and why there likely won't be any. Jeff also puts on his tinfoil hat and raises his conspiracy of which pitching prospect won't see the majors this year for Cleveland and why. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
