Cleveland Guardians, a privately owned company based in the US, was founded in 1896 and operates with approximately 1060 employees. The company specializes in spectator sports, functioning as an American professional baseball team competing in Major League Baseball (MLB) as a member club of the American League (AL) Central Division. Since 1994, the team has played its home games at Progressive Field. Since their establishment as a Major League franchise in 1901, the team has won 11 Central Division titles, six American League pennants, and two World Series championships (in 1920 and 1948). The team's World Series championship drought since 1948 is the longest active among all 30 current Major League teams. The team's name references the Guardians of Traffic, eight monolithic 1932 Art Deco sculptures by Henry Hering on the city's Hope Memorial Bridge, which is adjacent to Progressive Field. The team's mascot is named "Slider," and its spring training facility is at Goodyear Ballpark in Goodyear, Arizona.

News Summary:

Shawn Armstrong returned to the Cleveland Guardians' bullpen, addressing criticism regarding the team's limited offseason activity and lack of significant lineup acquisitions. Earlier on February 21, the Guardians began their spring training schedule with split-squad matchups against the Cincinnati Reds and Milwaukee Brewers, bringing attention to promising prospects. This follows Steven Kwan speaking out about his contract extension discussions, after the team earlier in the offseason replaced Jose Ramirez’s contract with a new seven-year, $175 million extension. Previously, on February 19, a Guardians veteran received a significant acknowledgment among the top players at his position, as the team looks to Jose Ramirez and Steven Kwan to lead the charge in their pursuit of a third consecutive AL Central title in 2026.
