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.
Guardians fans are learning about the reality of the Patrick Bailey trade, following the team's acquisition of catcher Patrick Bailey from the San Francisco Giants in early May in exchange for pitching prospect Matt “Tugboat” Wilkinson. While Bailey has proven additive behind the plate, the loss of Wilkinson, noted for his 80-grade nickname and strong arsenal, has been felt. Previously, on August 8, the Guardians approached the trade deadline acting like a team confident in its direction, making several changes to address a stalled offense, the need for another reliable rotation arm, and underperforming players, recognizing that standing still in the close American League Central would amount to conceding ground. This followed their August 7 decision to designate longtime infielder Gabriel Arias for assignment to make room for top prospect Angel Genao, who was called up, avoiding placing Jose Ramirez on the injured list for renewed wrist soreness.
