How the lack of an Emmanuel Clase decision will affect the Guardians’ 2026 offseason

We’re a little more than 48 hours away from the start of the World Series and the Cleveland Guardians still don’t have some clarity on Emmanuel Clase, one of the most expensive players on their roster.

Clase initially suspended by Major League Baseball at the end of July as a part of their gambling investigation, and the only update we’ve gotten since is when MLB announced at the end of August that he and fellow pitcher Luis Ortiz were suspended ”until further notice.”

And although the fact that neither pitcher is able to pitch in LIDOM seems to confirm that they won’t suit up for the Guardians again, we still haven’t gotten an official update about their major league future.
