Rumor has it that my Cleveland Guardians are going to sign Walker Buehler as a free agent. Hes had Tommy John twice and is 30 years old. Can anyone tell me more about Buehler? Is this a good signing or not?

I guess we could see the matchup, but Cleveland Guardians are an American League team, and with that innerleague play, the chances are pretty slim.

They're probably drooling over his clubhouse presence too -- a mentor for the youngest guys.
I think this also says, maybe screams, that the club isn't feeling too hot for Logan Allen and Triston McKenzie.
Thanks for sharing this Diamond_Dog.

(35,174 posts)Im feeling better about this now after reading the above posts. I was feeling pretty bummed out that we traded away Andres Gimenez.
McKenzie and Allen never seemed to develop enough consistency to merit a stay in the big leagues and with Bieber on a one year contract we want to go for it all in this upcoming season.
Hopefully Antonetti makes better decisions than Haslam. 😂

BTW, does the "Diamond" in Diamond Dog pertain to the baseball diamond? Is that what inspired it, your baseball fandom?

Just tell me when the trade is official and dont speculate 100 different scenarios.
