Cleveland Guardians Headlines
Ben Lively is back in the fold, signing a two-year Minor League deal with the Guardians as he continues his recovery from Tommy John surgery. This move not only adds depth to the organization but also gives Lively a chance to regain his form in a familiar environment. He’s expected to be a valuable asset down the line, especially if he can bounce back to his pre-injury performance. The Guardians are clearly banking on his potential as they bolster their pitching depth for the future.
In a significant tactical shift, Steven Kwan will be trying out center field during spring training. Manager Stephen Vogt is taking a proactive approach, looking to optimize the outfield alignment ahead of the season. Kwan's defensive prowess is well-known, and if he can adjust to center, it could open up additional options for the Guardians' lineup. This flexibility may enhance the overall offensive capabilities, especially with the need for more power beyond Kyle Manzardo.
With the Tigers favored for the AL Central crown, the Guardians are experimenting early to find any advantage they can. Expect continued discussions surrounding the outfield and pitching plans as Cleveland prepares for a crucial season.
