CLEVELAND, Ohio — Any way you slice it, the Guardians bullpen has been baseball’s best from day one of the 2024 season. Now, Cleveland relievers will have the chance to continue their unprecedented run as they aim to lead the club to a World Series ...

The No. 2-seeded Guardians have quite a lot to sort through before Game 1 at Progressive Field on Saturday, when they'll face either the No. 3 Houston Astros or No. 6 Detroit Tigers. Cleveland can sit back and watch those two clubs in their wild card series, but some tough conversations will be happening at the same time.

Sunday's Guardians-Astros game is officially in a rain delay for the time being. The Guardians clinched their spot in the playoffs Thursday and then secured the American League Central crown over the weekend in St. Louis. It's the first calendar year since 1995 in which all three major Cleveland sports teams will play a playoff game.

Unfortunately for Ramirez, his career has fallen into lockstep with 32-year-old Yankees slugger Aaron Judge, who won the MVP award in 2022, when he led the AL in an outrageous nine categories, including home runs (62), RBI (131), runs (133), and OPS (1.111) – and he is having an even better year this year.
