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.
On April 3, 2026, the Guardians secured a 4-1 victory in their home opener against the Cubs, where rookie Chase DeLauter hit his fifth home run for three RBIs, and Joey Cantillo pitched 5 1/3 strong innings. This followed news on April 2 that the Pittsburgh Pirates promoted top prospect Konnor Griffin, the No. 9 pick in the 2024 MLB Draft, potentially offering the Guardians a blueprint for managing their own prospect, Travis Bazzana. Earlier on March 31, Progressive Field introduced several changes for the 2026 season, including a new Fat Head’s Brewery, updated food options, and a photo-op mural. The same day, the Detroit Tigers' Justin Verlander reunion reportedly failed, which could further open the door for the Guardians in the AL Central. Also on March 31, third baseman Jose Ramirez approached a rare career feat with the team.
