In completely unpredictable fashion, the Guardians have traded away Andres Gimenez in a move that would soon after net them some much needed pitching.

Spencer Horwitz was a Guard for but a matter of hours until the Pittsburgh Pirates came calling for him. The Luis Ortiz era has begun, a fan favorite is gone, and there's still at least five things this team needs to address. So, now what?

We're back to wrap up the 2024 season!

We're joined in this episode by our good friend, Justin Lada from Locked on Guardians.

Make sure to follow Justin on X, @jl_baseball, Locked on Guardians @LockedGuardians, and his co-host Jeff Ellis, @jeffMLBdraft.

We put a bow on an incredible 2024 season that took us through some crazy highs and groveling lows. We touch on how this team persevered through some insane adversity with a rookie manager at the helm and STILL went all the way to the league championship series. Although the gas ran out at the end, this season is by no means anything to hang our heads about as fans. There's promise here.

Much of that promise depends on ownerships willingness to give the front office some wiggle room, though. We touch on the teams biggest objective needs to take care of in the off-season. Free agency, trades, prospects and more! Is Bieber coming back? Is Josh Naylor a prime trade candidate? What does next year look like for Triston McKenzie? Is Chase DeLauter the franchises savior for their nagging right field problem? It's all here in a jam packed discussion full of hope and good discussion.

Willie Hood is here and this is a MUST listen.

Does the MLB draft intimidate you? Do you struggle to understand slot values and bonus pools? Do you wonder how teams pick between college or guys from big name prep high schools?

Because, we do too. Thankfully within our space as Guardians fans, we have people that love the draft and digest a TON of information about it and can make it far more accessible. Willie Hood is no exception to that. Willie is one of the premiere minds when it comes to the how and why of Cleveland's draft strategy. We talked about everything from strategy, team need, bonus pool money, how to push money down the draft to help you get a more well-rounded draft class and we even answered questions that YOU sent us to talk about!

Make sure you follow Willie on X at @WillHoo99
