Is the Guardians' Emmanuel Clase's save record at risk? A controversial question for fans and experts alike. If Clase is found guilty of pitch-fixing, will his place as the team's all-time saves leader be asterisked? But here's where it gets controversial... The stats of the 1919 White Sox, who had eight players banned for life for throwing the World Series, are still in the record books without an asterisk. Pete Rose, banned for life for gambling, is still recognized as MLB's all-time hit king with 4,256. So, will Clase's record be treated differently? As for the Guardians' recent West Coast trips, it's all about construction and preparation. The team is working on improvements at Progressive Field, and these trips allow them more time to get the ballpark ready. But will the Guardians add a right-handed bat? It's unlikely between now and the start of the regular season. However, if the need becomes apparent and the team is contending at the trade deadline, they might make such a move. And what about the Guardians' offense? Will they be embarrassed by their lack of effort to improve it in the offseason? Chris Antonetti, president of baseball operations, says it's not a matter of money. The team will have the resources to improve during the season if the offense continues to struggle. So, will the Guardians' young players step up and prove their worth? And what about David Fry's recovery from Tommy John surgery? Will he compete for an outfield spot at least part-time? The Guardians' future is full of questions and possibilities. Will they rise to the challenge and prove their worth? Only time will tell. And this is the part most people miss... The Guardians have proven more than once that they know how to win in the AL Central. So, will they do it again this season? Stay tuned for more updates and insights from the world of baseball.
