The early races for AL and NL Rookie of the Year have seen a slew of candidates making compelling cases. And though two clear favorites have emerged over the first six weeks of the season, the competition is fierce enough that we could see tight races in both leagues by

CLEVELAND -- When the Guardians’ dugout made the call to the bullpen on Sunday requesting Franco Aleman begin to warm up, you can imagine the feelings that could have overcome the right-hander. But Aleman had been long prepared for that moment. “I’ve been ready for two days,” Aleman said, smiling.

CLEVELAND -- Guardians president Chris Antonetti recalled how former associate manager Craig Albernaz often joked about Cleveland acquiring catcher Patrick Bailey from the Giants. Albernaz (a former San Francisco coach) held a close relationship with Bailey. The Guardians struck a deal to acquire Bailey on Saturday morning, and Albernaz (now

CLEVELAND -- The Guardians are shaking up their catching depth chart with a bit of a stunning early season trade. The Guardians announced Saturday they’ve acquired two-time Gold Glove Award-winning catcher Patrick Bailey from the Giants in exchange for lefty pitching prospect Matt Wilkinson and their Competitive Balance Round A

CLEVELAND -- Travis Bazzana was a few feet out of the batter's box and beginning to sprint to first base Friday night when he emphatically pumped his fists and let out a yell. He knew he crushed the fly ball carrying toward center field, but couldn’t be sure how far

CLEVELAND -- Franco Aleman updated his cell phone’s screensaver on Friday to a picture of himself in Cuba during his childhood. As he prepared for the biggest day of his professional baseball career yet, it was a reminder to himself to “just be a kid out there and have fun.”

KANSAS CITY -- There was never any question about Slade Cecconi's fastball repertoire. The mission for the Guardians’ right-hander on Thursday was to be more precise with his secondary pitches. “I think that getting those shapes right with the offspeeds is going to help him,” Guardians manager Stephen Vogt said

The 2026 Draft is taking longer to sort itself out than teams hoped. Shortstops Roch Cholowsky (UCLA) and Grady Emerson (Fort Worth Christian HS in Texas) have set themselves apart from the rest of the class. The second tier of prospects consists of catcher Vahn Lackey (Georgia Tech) and right-hander

KANSAS CITY -- With the Guardians in the midst of a three-game lull, they needed some type of spark. Backup catcher Austin Hedges and designated hitter Chase DeLauter were just the guys to provide it. Trailing the Royals by a run in the fifth inning on Wednesday, Cleveland went the

KANSAS CITY -- The Guardians have run into the Royals at a time when Kansas City is red hot. Through the opening two games of a four-game series at Kauffman Stadium, the Royals have had a fourth-inning formula for keeping Cleveland at arm’s length. That was the case again on

KANSAS CITY -- When he took the mound Monday night, Tanner Bibee had only known Kauffman Stadium to be his happy place. Four career starts in the Royals’ ballpark had resulted in four victories and a nice 2.78 ERA for Bibee. But in the fourth inning of the Guardians’ 6-2

WEST SACRAMENTO -- Chase DeLauter consistently looks to carry confidence with him into the batter’s box. The way he put it, if a hitter doesn’t maintain that perspective -- whether they’re going through some highs or lows -- they’re already beat. “It's tough,” DeLauter said. “It's way easier said than

WEST SACRAMENTO -- Days after Travis Bazzana’s promotion to the big leagues, another highly-regarded Guardians middle infield prospect got one step closer to reaching The Show. The Guardians announced Sunday they've promoted shortstop Angel Genao (their No. 3 prospect and No. 57 overall, according to MLB Pipeline) from Double-A Akron
