You see, in game one of the Cleveland Guardians' doubleheader on Saturday in Kansas City, the star closer came in with a one-run lead in the bottom of the 10th. But he gave up a two-run, walk-off homer to Jonathan India.

The Guardians selected Jace Laviolette with the No. 27 overall pick in the draft. According to Callis, Cleveland signed Laviolette with a $4 million signing bonus, nearly $700,000 above the slot value. This is a deal that makes it the Guardians’ largest over-slot deal.

The New York Mets could be aggressive at this year's MLB trade deadline, and Cleveland Guardians outfielder Steven Kwan is be a target.

Jose Ramirez is on the verge of joining a list of legends. The Cleveland Guardians superstar needs just one stolen base to join an exclusive club. Up to this point in MLB history, four players have reached at least 275 home runs and 275 stolen bases through their first 13 seasons: Barry Bonds, Bobby Bonds, Andre Dawson and Carlos Beltran.

MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand recently chose his top trade asset for each team, and named Cleveland’s best piece as Steven Kwan. “Kwan is under club control for two more years, so while the Guardians don’t have to move him, he may be their best asset to bring back a solid package of young talent,” wrote Feinsand.

The Guardians topped the list of bonus-over-value handed out for the first round of the 2025 MLB Draft. Compared to Jace Laviolette's slot value at pick No. 27 at $3.382 million, the Guardians went more over-slot than anyone in MLB this season. They handed Laviolette a $4 million signing bonus.

José Ramírez is one stolen base away from matching a career stat line only previously achieved by Carlos Beltran, Barry Bonds, Andre Dawson and Bobby Bonds.

Jace LaViolette is beginning his MLB career after a decorated tenure at Texas A&M, and he signed an impressive rookie deal with Cleveland.
