All the Cleveland Guardians do is WIN. They took another one from the Chicago White Sox in a game that saw the Guardians jump out early and then piled on before securing the win over the Chicago White Sox. The lead in the division jumps to six games, with the magic number down to seven games for the Guardians with six games yet left against the Kansas City Royals. The three stars today are Josh Naylor, Steven Kwan, and Triston McKenzie. This leads me to ask the question who is the top player this team needs to consider extending this offseason?

Next up with talk about Steven Kwan’s place in recent Guardians/Indians history. This team has completely, totally, and utterly failed to develop outfielders and Steven Kwan is already top four among all draft or signed and developed outfielders in terms of bWAR in the last 30 years in his FIRST year. Oscar Gonzalez also gets a shout-out for making the top ten already as well. We talk a bit about the roster moves, why it was a bit of a surprise to see them choose to add Will Brennan now, and how he could be a postseason option thanks to an obscure rule. 

We talk about the Dayton Moore firing. We discuss the 40 man and how little there is to add after all the additions this year. We also focus on how the future is now, but also how the future's so bright. If this team wants to push forward on the rebuild or continue to build from within there are so many avenues to success. It is nice to enjoy this year, but in some regards, it is even better realizing that this is just the beginning of what could be one heck of a run over the next few years.
