I think its safe to say that the Guardians fans, front office, coaching staff, and probably players, know the dream is dead in 2025. For some reason this team seems to compete when they aren’t expected (two wins vs the Astros, for example), and fold when they are (the past month). Enough about the negative aspects of this season though, lets focus on how to make the rest of the year a net positive.
The Guardians are 15.5 games back in the division, 6.5 back in the wildcard race, and are the coldest team in baseball; don’t overthink it.
