Locked On Guardians - Daily Podcast On The Cleveland Guardians

1. Cleveland Guardians spring training is going to get off and running this week, along with the rest of MLB. We talk about the first dispatches from the Guardians spring training from reporters and some news about the health of a few players.

2. We get in depth about one report on Cody Morris, who is dealing with a lat issue again and how that might affect his role and future with the team given his past injuries.

3. Another dispatch from Arizona is that Gabriel Arias might get some time in the outfield during spring training, so we discuss how that might impact the Guardians roster and why it is a good thing for Arias.

4. We wrap up the audio portion of the show to discuss the fun that is Tanner Bibee and Gavin Williams throwing BP to big league hitters.

4. On YouTube only, we discuss the White Sox signing Elvis Andrus, the MLB All-Star game format, fun comments made by the Phillies owners, MLB's Steve Cohen Hate Group and the fun college baseball players we saw over the weekend.

1. Yesterday, we did our 2023 Cleveland Guardians prospect draft. We reviewed what you thought of our picks and how you voted on which team was better. The hosts of the MLB Locked On podcast network voted on the top 10 players in the American League coming into 2023 and we tell you where the Guardians placed a player on the list and if we agree.

2. We spend the rest of the show answering your questions. You asked if Steven Kwan, Triston McKenzie or Andres Gimenez could sign extensions? Who might the Guardians next manager be? How strong is Myles Straw's grip on the centerfield job? What will the Guardians bench look like? Who is in the Guardians rotation in September? Answers to all that and more.

3. On YouTube only, we get into a plethora of extra topics - Corbin Burnes' sour relationship with the Milwaukee Brewers, the Cleveland Guardians next team hall of fame inductee, Victor Martinez takes a job with the Blue Jays and the Yankees rotation is already having injury issues.

1. The Cleveland Guardians added more catching to their spring training roster by signing Zack Collins to a minor league league deal. We talk about his history as a prospect and where things what wrong and what his role in Cleveland might be.

2. The other addition Cleveland made was also a former White Sox player, pitcher Jason Bilous. Cleveland claimed him on waivers and added him to their 40 man roster after trading Will Benson to clear a spot last week. We discuss his potential this year and fit.

3. Finally, we touch on the Guardians player in the World Baseball Classic this spring and which players are most interesting, as well as which players the Guardians can least afford to get hurt in the tournament.

4. On YouTube only, we go over some news items including relievers that signed this past week that we talked about as guys we'd like Cleveland do sign, as well as a trade of a reliever we also talked about previously.

1. The Cleveland Guardians traded 2016 first-round pick OF Will Benson to the Cincinnati Reds to clear a 40-man roster spot and got the Reds 2022 Competitive B Balance pick OF Justin Boyd in return. We get into the details about the trade.

2. We talk about why the Guardians traded Benson and what they are giving up. We also jump into what the Guardians will get in Justin Boyd and why this trade is interesting. We also explain why this is about keeping a 40 man roster spot free for a backup catcher.

3. After talking about re-alignment yesterday due to expansion, we gave our 15 man protection list for the Guardians for a potential expansion draft, our next six player to protect and who we would draft from each other's unprotected list.

4. On YouTube only in the aftershow we touch on why the 40 man issue shouldn't be as critical this coming winter, for better and for worse.

1. LeBron James closing in on the NBA All-Time scoring record got us thinking about which Cleveland Guardians/Indians records could be within reach? It's a pretty short list but there are a few and we know a few players who could break those. Before that, we also acknowledge yesterday's inaccurate information with Jose Ramirez and the World Baseball Classic.

2. The Cleveland Guardians finally released their minor league coaching and player development staff assignments. We talk about which names are interesting and stood out among the minor league coaching ranks at each level, including the organization's first female on-field coach. We also discuss the Guardians latest minor league signing and non-roster spring training invitee, LHP Phillip Diehl.

3. MLB re-alignment was a hot topic online. We looked at what re-alignment could look like and where the Guardians would fit in.

4. In the after show we talk a lot about baseball movies, naming our favorites and least favorites. We also go deep how realignment could work, American Geography, and even more movie chatter.

1. An unconfirmed report says José Ramírez could be playing for the Dominican Republic in the World Baseball Classic next month. We talk about the risks of Ramírez playing in the WBC and possibly playing second base.

2. If Ramírez will be absent from spring training for the Guardians, we discuss who would get the starter's playing time at third base in his absence and who all will get chances at reps there as well.

3. The Guardians invited 15 non-roster players to major league spring training. We take a long look at the names on the list, including who surprised us and who else to keep an eye out for.

4. On YouTube only, we spend a lot of time talking about one of those names on the NRI list, C Meibrys Viloria. An entire segment on Meibrys Viloria. Bet you didn't think you would get that this offseason.
