Paul Hoynes of Cleveland dot com and Zack Meisel of the Athletic offered some perspective from a press conference with Chris Antonetti, Guardians President of Baseball Operations, and manager Stephen Vogt at Spring Training.
Some takeaways:
-The team claims they wouldn’t have spent significantly in free agent even if a TV deal had been in place from the beginning. They are committed to seeing their young talent play, to help avoid the mistakes of past years where young talent was traded prematurely.
-It sounds as if Estevan Florial will get the primary shot to win the center field job.
