In 2025, the Cleveland Guardians broke camp with a bullpen consisting of Emmanuel Clase, Hunter Gaddis, Cade Smith, Tim Herrin, Paul Sewald, Jakob Junis, Triston McKenzie, Joey Cantillo.
As of now, it looks like only Smith, Gaddis and Herrin will be the only three of those players who will trek out to the bullpen at T-Mobile Park on March 26 on Opening Day.
After having a three-year reign as one of the best pitchers in all of baseball, Clase is on paid leave due to a sports betting investigation and was just arrested as part of a federal investigation.
