Under The Hood no.1: Braylon Doughty - Among the more underrated T100 arms, at just 20 years old, he’s lived up to the reputation of being the most polished prep arm of his draft class thus far. Here’s my breakdown of CLE’s #1 pitching prospect: prospectslive.com/under-the-hood…

Guards 2026 first half awards: MVP: Rocchio Cy Young: Messick Breakout: DeLauter Most Improved: Hedgey Bullpen Hero: Holderman (Nick and I were first) Cy Yuck: Pallette or specifically just the Slade ATL start Sneaky Not Good: Manzardo LVP: Juan Brito or Bo

that’s the good stuff

@nucklecurve Agreed, just wonder if they can stick the landing here

@BelowAverageOPS Ooh good I like him much more as a SP

Guardians announced Rolon as an SS?

Congratulations to our 2026 MLB Draft selections ⭐️ #GuardsBall

The Cleveland Guardians Player Development System has announced the following moves: Promote OF Juneiker Caceres and LHP Harrison Bodendorf from Single-A Hill City to High-A Lake County. Promote INF Dean Curley, OF Aaron Walton, OF Ryan Cesarini, OF/1B Nolan Schubart, and LHP Izaak Martinez from High-A Lake County to Double-A Akron. Promote OF Alfonsin Rosario and RHP Alaska Abney from Double-A Akron to Triple-A Columbus. Release RHP Tommy Mace and OF Joe Lampe from Columbus Release OF Wuilfredo Antunez, RHP Reid Johnston, and RHP Jack Carey from Akron

A slew of Guards promotions post-draft. Alfonsin Rosario ➡️ Columbus Alaska Abney ➡️ Columbus Dean Curley ➡️ Akron Nolan Schubart ➡️ Akron Aaron Walton ➡️ Akron

@TJStats Has to be a front runner for next season. Could be him and Doughty if all goes well

@BelowAverageOPS He should have been at the futures game 📈

Caceres has emerged as one of the best prospects in the Guardians system, and outside of Ralphy, is the best pure bat. This was a bit overdue, but the injury early in the season probably delayed this. (s/o @TJStats)

@BelowAverageOPS Let’s gooooooo

Wild note to add: Caceres, at 18 years and 10 months, is the youngest player to reach High-A in Cleveland's system since Alex Ramirez in 1993. Unprecedented but deserved promotion for Caceres.

I'm not sure an org drafted best to their development strengths than the Cleveland Guardians. A ton of pitchers who can explode with athleticism and delivery work. Deiten Lachance and Kade Lewis are nice names to buck the #GuardsBall play style

Okay, so we had an area scout in the mountain west lol

Houston Astros loaded up on size (literally) while also touching just about every player profile in Day 1. Strong contact impact and consistency with lift? Logan Hughes. Workhorse arm with a challenge FB? Jack Radel. Repertoire depth? Wes Mendes. Prep pop? Beau Peterson.

...and I've been very complimentary of them throughout the weekend. They just swept one of the hottest teams in baseball lol. Bazzana simultaneously is playing extremely poorly for an extended stretch. Nuance (sort of)!

Any time a Cleveland pitcher finds a cutter, they take off. Cantillo is no different

Huge stretch heading into the ASB. Gaddis has stepped up as of late, as has Kwan. Get Jose and Angel back, and let’s get rolling again.

DeLauter has been among the hottest hitters in baseball since his return. That ball was obliterated
