Team Awards and Predictions for The 2025 Cleveland Guardians Season — Waiting For Next Year

4 weeks ago | waitingfornextyear.com | Joe Gerberry

We did it. We finally got to Opening Day. This winter felt eternal and interminable, mostly from a weather standpoint, but also from a “oh god oh god, the Browns suck again” view. Not even the red hot, best-record-in-the-East-and-often-the-NBA Cavaliers could make the winter months tolerable in Northeast Ohio. But we are finally here. We made it through the “hot” stove season, spring training split squad matchups, and 87,000 “DoLaNz ChEeP” memes on Twitter til today. Opening Day.
Stop Saying the Browns Should Blow It Up — Waiting For Next Year

4 weeks ago | waitingfornextyear.com | Craig Lyndall

We need to talk about the Cleveland Browns. Everybody knows they had a bad year in 2024. Everybody knows that the Deshaun Watson trade and contract were massive mistakes that cost the team not only financial flexibility but also draft picks. Everybody knows this team is not where it needs to be to consistently contend for the playoffs, let alone a Super Bowl. That part isn’t up for debate. My issue is projecting what the team should do in response to that bad season.
And the 13th Offensive Player Is… — Waiting For Next Year

At this point in spring training, there are very few questions when it comes to roster management. We know the guys that are gonna land on the injured list, most of the obvious names are optioned back to the minors, and all that’s left is one or two spots on the bench or rotation. Come Thursday at 4:10pm, we will know all 26 men on the roster, but today, we still have questions about who will be the last guy on the bench.

Some times trades happen and they make sense for all parties. Both sides get what they need, the value is set up to where neither team is left lacking, and the universe is happy. Then there are trades that no one understands what one or the other side is doing. [Cough cough Luka trade cough cough.] There is a weird third option where it works for both but the idea is just that: weird. Enter the recent transaction made between the Colorado Rockies and Cleveland Guardians.

The Guardians' Path Forward Is Starting Pitching — Waiting For Next Year

1 month ago | waitingfornextyear.com | Matt Milner

We are more than two weeks into spring training games. I am not afraid to admit that during work hours, I am peeping on box scores and MLB's Game Day live updates [Isn't it annoying we don't consistently get in-game data due to the spring training ballpark that the Guards happen to play at], keeping track of standouts both from prospects and those fighting for jobs on the big league club.
The Cavs Deserve More Respect Than They Are Given — Waiting For Next Year

1 month ago | waitingfornextyear.com | Matt Milner

We are all aware by now that this has been a remarkable season for the Cavaliers. They have been on three separate 10+ game-winning streaks this season with a chance to shatter the team record for wins in a season set in 2009. They are in the top ten in both defensive and offensive ratings. They can reach a different gear to flip potential losses to wins on a dime or bury teams under the weight of Cavalanches to put games away early.
Guardians Starting Pitching Preview: The New Guy — Waiting For Next Year

Everything needs a facelift after so long. Legacy brands like Pepsi or Coca Cola don’t need to tweak much, but there are subtle differences over the years. Sometimes it’s major, like New Coke, and sometimes it’s just shifting the color blobs of the Pepsi circle. The Cuyahoga Pitching Factory LLC underwent a much-needed face lift this offseason, adding Luis L Ortiz, Slade Cecconi, Jakob Junis, and John Means to the roster while also re-signing free agent and former ace Shane Bieber.
