💕 ▪︎ GUARDIANS 2023 ★ FIRST HALF ★ 4/1/23 to 7/13/23 ♥︎ ■ NOW unlocked .... to look back.

[Dutch Oven]

Mike Zunino, brought in this offseason in hopes he could give the catcher position some pop, has been designated for assignment. He never got going after missing a huge chunk of last season at bat or behind the plate.

Top prospect Bo Naylor - Josh's brother - has been called up from Columbus to take his spot. I'm guessing he will share time at catcher at first.

~  On  GAME 70 - Game 2  CLE (32-37)   versus   AZ  (42-28)   at 10:10  on FS1  it's  Beiber  vs Henry.

The schedule is favorable coming up, and the Gs have barely played the AL Central.
