We've talked a lot about Kyle Manzardo's roster situation a lot this offseason for opening day, and now he has made 2/3 of the baseball industries top 100 prospect lists that would qualify Cleveland for a trade pick in 2025 if Manzardo were to win Rookie of the Year in 2024. So now we discuss how real that situation really could be and what are the drawbacks. We also saw a somewhat blockbuster trade for an ace over the weekend with Corbin Burnes going to the Orioles. What does that return tell about Shane Bieber's trade value and situation? And we quickly talk about the Guardians adding RHP Tyler Zuber to a minor league deal.  1:00 Kyle Manzardo Top 100 12:00: Farm system rankings 15:00 Corbin Burnes trade/Shane Bieber trade value 22:00 Tyler Zuber signing 28:30 TV deal   Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

On today's show, we discuss why the win against the Mariners could end up affecting the playoffs. We focus on the performances of Will Brennan, Emmanual Clase, Logan Allen, and Andres Gimenez. The win continues to show why this team is legit. They beat a division champ who had won seven of eight before these two losses.     Then we switch to the MLB draft Combine and talk about some players who could appeal to Cleveland. The high spin rate starters Luke Sinnard of Indiana and prep pitcher Cade Townsend. We dig into Joseph Sullivan who hit the ball extremely hard and whose dad was a Heisman trophy in 1971. Then we focus on a 17-year-old catcher who had the hardest hit ball on the entire second day of the combine Nathan Flewlling.   Last we focus in on what AA pitchers need to be prompted ASAP, not so much due to their performance even though it has been very good. But due to a pair of older arms in high A who have been spectacular this year and have nothing left to prove.     Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Cleveland Guardians Beat Seattle Mariners Playoff Implications: Talking Combine Stories MLB Draft 24

Power pitching and power hitting powered the Guardians in a bounce-back win vs. the Mariners on Wednesday.   Today's episode goes into why the end of Tuesday's game carried into Wednesday's success and win, and why it's important to remember how resilient this team is, and also why not to get too low on losses like Tuesday, and wins like Wednesday.   We also got into Tanner Bibee's next step into being this team's ace.   And there is a LOT of draft talk going on and a lot of buzz and smoke and rumors at the 1-1 pick for the Guardians. We had a LONG debate breaking down this news and what it means and where we think things are headed for the Guardians.   Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Bibee Takes Another Step as Ace, Guardians Bounce Back vs. Mariners, & More Buzz at 1-1 in MLB Draft

The Guardians got off to a tough start to a tough stretch of games ahead with a disappointing start from Triston McKenzie and the bullpen had a rare off night to go with it. We get into the issues with Triston McKenzie and the starting pitching as a whole.   We discuss why it might pay off to be patient with Gavin Williams right now despite the woes in the major league rotation.   Kyle Manzardo was sent down and we debate who needs the next look from Triple-A during this next month of games.   And we spend the whole third segment on the most recent MLB Mock draft and the controversy about that potential option, what it means, and what to believe when it comes to that news and noise.   Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

On today's Locked On Guardian, we discuss if the .500 record on the team's three-city, eight-game, 10-day road trip showed much about this teams strengths or flaws, what tweaks they can make to be the best version of themselves over the next six weeks before getting to the trade deadline to make any additions.   We also go through the Guardians upcoming stretch of 25 games in 26 days before the All-Star break and what it's going to take for the team to continue to hold the AL Central lead in that time.   Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
