Description

The Guardians 2026 season hinges on who will play center field on Opening Day. Internal candidates like Chase DeLauter, Angel Martinez, Nolan Jones, and Petey Halpin each have their pros and cons. DeLauters injury history is a concern, Martinezs defense is lacking, Jones is average, and Halpin is a strong defender but a weak hitter. The team could also explore external options through free agency or trades, with Harrison Bader, Lane Thomas, and Austin Slater being possibilities. In the trade market, Luis Robert, Brandon Marsh, and Jake Meyers are names that have been mentioned. The Guardians face a complex decision, with the addition of a right-handed hitting outfielder like Lane Thomas or Austin Slater also in the mix.
