The 2025 trade deadline proved to be much more exciting than most of hoped, but where does that leave our beloved Guardians?

We talk about the Guardians moves that they did make, the moves they were rumored with fury to make and other moves they could/should have made.

We also talk about overarching headlines from the trades of the day and the unexpected nuclear cleanup happening in Minnesota with the Twins.

Lastly, we wrap up with what to look forward to next. Are they in? Are they out? Are they in the middle? What is going to happen to Luis Ortiz and Emmanuel Clase? It's all here!

In completely unpredictable fashion, the Guardians have traded away Andres Gimenez in a move that would soon after net them some much needed pitching.

Spencer Horwitz was a Guard for but a matter of hours until the Pittsburgh Pirates came calling for him. The Luis Ortiz era has begun, a fan favorite is gone, and there's still at least five things this team needs to address. So, now what?

We're back to wrap up the 2024 season!

We're joined in this episode by our good friend, Justin Lada from Locked on Guardians.

Make sure to follow Justin on X, @jl_baseball, Locked on Guardians @LockedGuardians, and his co-host Jeff Ellis, @jeffMLBdraft.

We put a bow on an incredible 2024 season that took us through some crazy highs and groveling lows. We touch on how this team persevered through some insane adversity with a rookie manager at the helm and STILL went all the way to the league championship series. Although the gas ran out at the end, this season is by no means anything to hang our heads about as fans. There's promise here.

Much of that promise depends on ownerships willingness to give the front office some wiggle room, though. We touch on the teams biggest objective needs to take care of in the off-season. Free agency, trades, prospects and more! Is Bieber coming back? Is Josh Naylor a prime trade candidate? What does next year look like for Triston McKenzie? Is Chase DeLauter the franchises savior for their nagging right field problem? It's all here in a jam packed discussion full of hope and good discussion.

Willie Hood is here and this is a MUST listen.

Does the MLB draft intimidate you? Do you struggle to understand slot values and bonus pools? Do you wonder how teams pick between college or guys from big name prep high schools?

Because, we do too. Thankfully within our space as Guardians fans, we have people that love the draft and digest a TON of information about it and can make it far more accessible. Willie Hood is no exception to that. Willie is one of the premiere minds when it comes to the how and why of Cleveland's draft strategy. We talked about everything from strategy, team need, bonus pool money, how to push money down the draft to help you get a more well-rounded draft class and we even answered questions that YOU sent us to talk about!

Make sure you follow Willie on X at @WillHoo99

Chuck and Zac are back with special guest Jeff Ellis to talk about all the storylines that have prevailed through spring training so far. Angel Martinez, Chase DeLauter, Gavin Williams' injury scare, the organizations continuing middle infield clutter, and more! Plus, things to continue to look for as spring training comes to a close.

You can find Jeff on X at @jeffmlbdraft and Locked on Guardians on every major podcast platform wherever you prefer.

We are back! Thank you to all of you for hanging with us, life gets crazy.

Zac and Chuck are joined by Justin Lada to talk about the myriad of off-season news. Steven Vogt, Jonathan Rodriguez, George Valera, De Los Santos, Barlow, Chase DeLauter, and Kyle Manzardo? It's all here, as much as we could squeeze into an hour and a half at least.

Chuck and Zac are back to talk Guardians! Much has happened for the team since our last episode and we found time to sit down and gather our thoughts on the current state of the team and what we might look to see going forward. We talk about the brilliant pitching rotation, young players continuing to develop and some who have struggled.

We also fielded our traditional mailbag! The state of the outfield, bullpen and need for power were all asked about so we talked about them!

This episode features Mike Hook joining us to talk all things Guardians from the recent Twins series! We talk about all the great pitching, timely hitting in games 3 & 4 for the Guards, AND the return of STICKS!!!! We also talk about how insufferable Twins fans are, are they scared? You know it.

Michael also answered this weeks mailbag with us. It's short in volume, but rich in discussion! Is Shane Bieber getting traded? What are some other moves the team could make to help them win now that don't involve Biebs?
