Locked On Indians

Cleveland Guardians fans voice growing frustration as another coveted bat slips away. Will the front office’s quiet offseason haunt a postseason push? Justin Lada and Jeff Ellis break down the Guardians’ current roster moves, trade deadline strategies, and off-season grades, and get questions whether Chris Antonetti and Mike Chernoff’s patient approach is still the right formula for sustainable success. We also discuss why it may not make sense to extend Kyle Manzardo, challenges in bringing in right-handed outfield help like Dane Myers, and how prospects such as Josh Hartle and Angel Genao could be part of Cleveland’s future or become trade chips. The show also confronts fan concerns on ownership transitions, missed free agent opportunities, and whether the Guardians’ front office is resting too much on past accomplishments.   05:09 Offseason Graded: C-07:09 Evaluating a Manzardo Contract Extension14:30 Yorman Gomez as an Under the Radar Trade Chip18:01 Arias: Contact and Potential24:30 Unpredictable Trade D
