The Guardians added four players to their 40-man roster before Tuesday night’s Rule 5 deadline: pitchers Franco Aleman, Nic Enright, and Doug Nikhazy and outfielder Petey Halpin. To open 40-man spots, Cleveland designated former top outfield prospect George Valera and relievers Peter Strzelecki and Connor Gillispie for assignment. The most notable piece of news here…
The Cleveland Guardians are in obvious need of starting pitching this offseason, but their frugal spending hits make it unlikely for them to make a major move in free agency. As a result, the Guardians may be forced to turn to trades, and Quincy Wheeler of Covering the Corner has suggested a rather interesting scenario….
It’s that time of the year already! As a Cleveland fan, we don’t get to dream about our team signing Juan Soto or Shohei Ohtani or any top free agents for that matter. Discussing the Rule 5 draft and which prospects to protect or not is one of the most fun and anticipating offseason topics….
The Cleveland Guardians obviously need starting pitching, but how they go about addressing the problem this offseason is anyone’s guess.

The Philadelphia Eagles’ defensive transformation in 2024 has propelled the team to an 8-2 record and a six-game winning streak, marking one of the most remarkable turnarounds in the NFL this season.

The Philadelphia Eagles have done everything in their power to move past their collapse from the 2023 season.
