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:

On June 25, 2026, the Cleveland Guardians reportedly eyed St. Louis Cardinals reliever Riley O’Brien as a potential trade target, following his April 15 performance where he retired Guardians batters 1-2-3 in the ninth inning. Previously, on June 24, former Guardians player Carlos Santana's Major League career faced uncertainty after he made eight appearances for the Arizona Diamondbacks in March and April before a strained right adductor sent him to the injured list. On June 17, the Guardians called up their No. 12 prospect Kahlil Watson to the Major Leagues, a move prompted by DeLauter's placement on the injured list. This development occurred as the team also grappled with the absence of superstar third baseman Jose Ramirez, who is expected to miss significant time with a broken hamate bone, intensifying reflections on the earlier trade of Junior Caminero. A day prior, on June 16, pitcher Slade Cecconi delivered a strong outing, limiting the Milwaukee Brewers to one run across 5 2/3 innings in a 2-1 loss.
