There's a trend in all four of the major sports that the moment things start to go south for a team all the blame is put on the coach or manager. It's incredibly rare that the same coach sticks around for four to five years. Then there are the rare occasions when a coach is around for over a decade.
Here we go again. I thought I was done writing about a potential Amed Rosario trade until at least the 2023 trade deadline.

Out of all of the positions in Major League Baseball, third base arguably has the most star power on it. There's no shortage of talent from Manny Machado, Nolan Arenado, Rafael Devers, and Cleveland's own Jose Ramirez.
The Guardians have one of the best pitching staffs in baseball and have rolled out just about the same rotation for the last three years. However, it may be time to make a change to it. Zach Plesac has been a Cleveland starter for four seasons now.
Making small changes to let your true value show I look at Amed Rosario and think, “I can fix him.” Maybe it’s Valentine's Day coming up, but I’ve been spending some time thinking about Guardians fans' relationship with and feelings about our team’s shortstop.
The Guardians organization is known for a handful of things and one of those is having a deep farm system. Not just at the Triple-A level either. They have highly ranked prospects through Double-A and Class-A too. A lot of credit has to go to both the team's scouts and Minor League coaches for the team's Major League success.
Only the Orioles have more in Baseball America’s annual ranking of top MiLB prospects Baseball America has released its top 100 prospects list for 2023 and it gives Guardians fans plenty to be excited about.

Naylor has the potential to be the future catcher in Cleveland. Will he take the reigns in 2023? The vote for our No. 6 prospect was about as one-sided as voting can get at this point with Bo Naylor obtaining 62% of the vote, outpacing poor Will Brennan (15%) by nearly 50 percentage points.

Many fans are still hoping for one big trade The Guardians’ offseason work would seem to be mostly completed, as they reached arbitration deals with all seven of their eligible players.
Right-handed ace Shane Bieber and the Cleveland Guardians reached agreement Friday on a one-year, $10.01 million contract to avoid arbitration. Bieber won the American League Cy Young award in 2020.
Bieber has been highly coveted by fans of other clubs given his tremendous success, and the Guardians reportedly have some degree of openness to a deal. Nothing has come together so far, with Bieber sticking around as the ace of the Cleveland staff.
Drafted for his command, Bibee was one of the Cleveland pitching factory’s biggest 2022 successes In the closest vote thus far (but still not that close), Tanner Bibee captured 36% of the vote, outpacing Brayan Rocchio (24%) for the No.

In 2013, the Cleveland Guardians, then known as the Cleveland Indians, were a pleasant surprise to many, just as they were in 2022. While the American League Central was dominated by the Detroit Tigers at the time, the Indians had made some improvements and bridged the gap.
With the vast majority of MLB-caliber starters already off the board, many contenders are currently inking lottery-tickets for the back of their rotation and as organizational depth.
