What Do the Cleveland Guardians Need to Do To Become Serious World Series Contenders?

The World Series is over. The Los Angeles Dodgers are champions and the MLB offseason is here. How do the Guardians get over the hump from being division contenders to World Series contenders? This episode debates what the Guardians roster and organization needs to get to another World Series. We discuss if the Guardians can replicate their pitching factory days and if that's feasible and even enough. The show also talks about the major hitting issues that has held them back the last few seasons. And we get into the changes the Guardians made to their draft strategy and why this could have them back on a better track to leverage their farm system in trades. 12:17 Guardians' Pitching Strategy 19:52 Guardians' Hitting Philosophy 26:34 Farm System and Trades 33:28 International and Draft Strategy 38:05 Payroll and Team Strategy 39:40 AFL Prospects Update Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
