We look at the depth at those spots and who's next in the system and we look at what new year's resolutions the Guardians need to make going into 2025.

The Cleveland Guardians were apparently "interested" in Gleyber Torres before he signed with the Detroit Tigers. What does that mean about the Guardians approach to second base and free agency if anything at all? We explore that in this episode, and why the Guardians aren't approaching 2025 the way they approached 2017 after a deep playoff run.

We dig into the recent headlines, rumors, and signings to discuss their impact on the Cleveland Guardians. We mention the newest minor readdiction with the Guardians resigning Dom Nunez, and why he might be the most impactful player who is unlikely to play for the Guardians this year.

Then we jump in a 27-pick mock draft with Sleepers and Selections for all 27 picks. While I might struggle to remember the name of Seaver King and make a mistake about Kyson Witherspoon the data and information about what teams have historically done stands out as it lead to me getting three teams and players correct in the 2024 draft in October of 2023.  So tune in to who I think your team might take, and make fun of my mistake with Witherspoon as his age threw me off in this one.
