The Cleveland Guardians are gearing up for the 2025 season, aiming to overcome pitching struggles that plagued them in 2024, where they finished with the fourth-worst starter ERA in the American League. General Manager Mike Chernoff acknowledged the importance of improving their pitching depth, citing the strength of last year's bullpen led by standout performers like Emmanuel Clase and Hunter Gaddis. While the team is optimistic about the return of Shane Bieber post-surgery, concerns remain about the rotation, especially following the loss of key pitchers like Cobb and Boyd. The Guardians are looking to integrate promising young arms such as Luis Ortiz and Slade Cecconi to bolster their options on the mound.
