race up the draft board! I guess he felt the need to get the lead out somewhere.

Never a dull moment in the Cleveland sports scene, I guess!



Are you watching the Giants game? They have Verlander?!

It can be streamed via their app.

Good outing by Allen tonight.

Listening to the Buzzard. 🙂

If Bieber can return before the trade deadline and have a good showing, a trade is always possible. Even Bieber's.

He's a FA next year. According to baseball-reference.com, there's a $16 million option for 2026, which is pretty good money, but if I were Bieber I'd want a few years with some guaranteed money added to that. With no salary cap, a large market team can afford the gamble. Mets, Dodgers, Houston. I believe the Yankees had coveted him before the surgery.

It would be a bitter pill to swallow -- another Cy Young winner gone. At least in a trade Cleveland would get something in return.

But obviously he was rehabbing from TJ surgery and was big question mark. I have a feeling Cleveland won’t be willing to pay him the $ he will want in FA. The way we roll in Cleveland, unfortunately. If he is back to his old self later this season, he can probably name his price or his team. He might want to be in California since that’s where he’s from.

Just when I think this guy or that guy will be the one removed from the rotation when Bieber returns, he has a good outing. Ortiz right now seems to be the most likely candidate - he got hammered his last start …… he gave up 6 runs in Seattle on 6/15. He’s 3 and 8 with a 4.64 ERA.

and now Boston and Toronto are winning. Good chance Guardians will be sellers/traders in July. Maybe trade Ortiz too.

Call up the prospects -- DeLauter, Kayfus -- see what they can do.
