It's been a long and frustrating road for the former first-round pick of the 2019 MLB Draft, but finally, in the ultimate story of perseverance, Daniel Espino is getting the call-up to the big leagues. The #Guardians are set to call up flamethrowing RHP Daniel Espino for what would be his MLB debut, per @tim_stebbins . The 2019 first-rounder ranked as high as MLB's No. 16 prospect in 2023 but missed almost all of four seasons ('22-'25) due to injury: https://t.co/N6bmEplWxt pic.twitter.c...
The Detroit Tigers dropped the opening game of their weekend series against the Cleveland Guardians, 3-2, on Friday night in a game that saw the good guys manage just two hits — both solo home runs — plus a good deal of bullpen action after Jack Flaherty left the game early with an injury. Speaking […]
Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Jack Flaherty left Friday’s road game against the Cleveland Guardians after three innings because of lower leg discomfort. Flaherty’s outing ended after he threw 63 pitches, including 39 strikes, while allowing two runs on three hits, one walk and one strikeout. He departed with the Guardians holding a 2-1 lead. The […]

To make room for Espino, they optioned righty reliever Codi Heuer to Triple-A. 7:34am: The Guardians are expected to recall right-hander Daniel Espino for his MLB debut, reports Zack Meisel of The Athletic. Espino is already on the 40-man roster, so only a 26-man move will be needed. […]
The August 3rd trade deadline is over a month and a half away, and the Guardians sit just half a game back of the upstart White Sox in the AL Central. Although impactful trades are very unlikely at this stage, teams are nonetheless starting their due diligence on opposing players to prepare for deadline season. […]
The Yankees, on the heels of a much-needed sweep over the Guardians, enjoyed a day off on Thursday. Stuck in a tie atop the American League East, they’ll head north of the border for a three-game series against the Blue Jays that kicks off on Friday. The Rays were also off on Thursday, and they’ll […]
If you’re anywhere in the vicinity of Cleveland this weekend, you might want to see if you can get yourself a ticket to the Guardians game on Saturday, because Tarik Skubal is back, baby! The Tigers’ ace has been gone fewer than 40 days, but it felt much, much longer as the team fell into […]
The Yankees faced a decently big test earlier this week as they took on the Cleveland Guardians — who are near the top of the AL Central — in a series without Aaron Judge. Capped off by a big win on Wednesday, the Yankees passed that test, sweeping all three games against Cleveland. Next up […]
The Detroit Tigers wrapped up their homestand on Thursday afternoon with an 11-0 shellacking of the Minnesota Twins to give the team its seventh win in nine tries so far in June. Already, AJ Hinch and Co. have exceeded their win total for May with just under 2/3 of the month remaining. Not too shabby. […]
The Guardians announced they’ve traded non-roster outfielder Nolan Jones and cash considerations to the White Sox. Chicago sends a $250K international bonus pool allotment to Cleveland in return. Cleveland outrighted Jones off their 40-man roster at the end of Spring Training. He therefore won’t immediately occupy a roster spot for Chicago. The Sox announced that they’ve […]
The Cleveland Guardians organization and MLB are mourning the loss of one of the most recognizable voices in franchise history. The team announced the passing of former play-by-play broadcaster John Sanders, a beloved figure who spent more than a decade…
The Cleveland Guardians are reportedly trading outfielder Nolan Jones to the Chicago White Sox, according to Tim Stebbins of MLB.com. Additionally, the Guardians are trading cash to the White Sox for $250,000 in international bonus money. Teams do not always trade within the same division, especially if they are battling for first place. The White […]

The Chicago Cubs’ struggles this season have been a popular subject of discussion. The Cubs were able to earn a 9-3 win on Thursday, but the ball club has still underperformed overall. While they will likely look to buy at the trade deadline, the Cubs also may be willing to trade a couple of players […]

The Cleveland Guardians might need to make trades to reclaim first place in the AL Central.
The Cleveland Guardians have spent the past few seasons threading a needle: staying competitive on a modest payroll while trying to grow enough impact bats from within. As their young core matures, the glaring hole remains the same, a proven right-handed power presence who can lengthen the lineup in October. With the Chicago Cubs increasingly […]

Sunday could bring about another big return, as Hinch added […]
What a nice start to the week! (Even beyond the basketball absurdity.) The Yankees finished off a sweep in Clevleand of the same Guardians team that came into the Bronx and took two out of three just last week. Pretty nice to be able to do that to a division leader* even without the likes […]

I'm pinch-hitting for MLBTR owner Tim Dierkes on this week's MLB Mailbag! In this edition, we'll get into Rafael Devers' contract and trade value (or lack thereof), the Nationals' unexpectedly strong performance and how it could shape their deadline, the revolving door for "41st men" on 40-man rosters (e.g. Atlanta's Carlos Carrasco), the Guardians' deadline […]
Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Brandon Woodruff is continuing to work his way back from a shoulder injury.

It’s been a series full of nailbiters, but at least the Yankees have come out on the right side of a pair of one-run games in this set with the Guardians. With a getaway day today, we have a matinee affair for you that will hopefully be a little more of a laugher than we’ve […]
