Locked On Guardians - Daily Podcast On The Cleveland Guardians

Could calling pitches from the dugout be the answer to the Cleveland Guardians offensive issues at catcher? The Miami Marlins tested this NFL-style system in 2025, where pitch sequences are called from the dugout rather than by catchers. Justin Lada breaks down how Cleveland could implement this innovation to maintain their elite pitching development (3rd in defensive catching metrics) while addressing their 25th-ranked catcher offense. The show covers Daniel Espino's impressive Arizona Fall League comeback, Trenton Denholm's knuckleball experiments with former Cleveland pitcher Tom Candiotti, as well as a interesting change by Jhonkensy Noel. Plus, our Halloween special ranks the franchise's worst trades, from the Myles Straw disaster to the legendary Rocky Colavito curse.Discover how the Cleveland Guardians could transform their catching strategy while keeping their pitching dominance intact.0:00 Intro - Pitching Innovation and Catcher Offense5:07 Game Calling Issues and First Pitch Problems15:17 Pitch Clock Impact on Game Calling20:21 Winter League and AFL Updates on Daniel Espino, Alfonsin Rosario, and Jhonkensy Noel25:29 Trenton Denholm Knuckleball Development30:05 Most Horrifying Trades in Cleveland history for Halloween34:10 Outro - Center Field Discussion PreviewSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!PrizePicksDownload the PrizePicks app today and use code LOCKEDONMLB to get $50 in lineups after you play your first $5 lineup.PrizePicks — Run Your Game.Click Link Here: https://prizepicks.onelink.me/LME0/LOCKEDONMLBGametimeDownload the Gametime app, create an account, and use code LOCKEDONMLB for $20 off your first purchase.

Could All-Star Jarren Duran be available this off-season and are the Cleveland Guardians a potential fit? Is Durran's availability be the answer in Cleveland's outfield, or is the price too steep? Justin Lada and Jeff Ellis break down why Boston might move Duran despite his 6.8 WAR season, analyzing his splits against left-handed pitching and defensive concerns. The discussion examines what it would cost Cleveland to acquire him—potentially Gavin Williams or other proven pitching—and whether that price makes sense given Duran's three years of control. The show also spotlights an under-the-radar alternative: Romy Gonzalez, whose elite hard-hit metrics rank fourth in baseball behind only Schwarber, Ohtani, and Judge. We also dive into Boston's roster construction priorities, Cleveland's historical approach to acquisitions, and identifying market inefficiencies in players from struggling organizations.Discover which trade target makes more sense for the Guardians' championship window and why underlying metrics matter more than All-Star appearances. 0:00 Intro - Jarren Duran trade rumors begin5:26 Why the Red Sox might trade Duran9:48 Shopping vs. taking calls on players14:56 What would it take to acquire Duran18:55 Comparing Duran's value to Guardians pitchers22:11 Problems with "former All-Star" label25:36 Andrew Vaughn trade comparison and market inefficiencies28:20 Romy Gonzalez as alternative target30:37 Logan Allen and pitching depth discussion32:12 Top five hard-hit rates in baseball33:00 Outro - Halloween candy preferences Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!PrizePicksDownload the PrizePicks app today and use code LOCKEDONMLB to get $50 in lineups after you play your first $5 lineup.PrizePicks — Run Your Game.Click Link Here: https://prizepicks.onelink.me/LME0/LOCKEDONMLBGametimeDownload the Gametime app, create an account, and use code LOCKEDONMLB for $20 off your first purchase.
