Digest more
The Guardians selected Jace Laviolette with the No. 27 overall pick in the draft. According to Callis, Cleveland signed Laviolette with a $4 million signing bonus, nearly $700,000 above the slot value. This is a deal that makes it the Guardians’ largest over-slot deal.
You see, in game one of the Cleveland Guardians' doubleheader on Saturday in Kansas City, the star closer came in with a one-run lead in the bottom of the 10th. But he gave up a two-run, walk-off homer to Jonathan India.
Steven Kwan hit a two-run home run, Tanner Bibee struck out eight in five innings, and the Cleveland Guardians beat the Kansas City Royals 6-4 to earn a doubleheader split.
Jose Ramirez is on the verge of joining a list of legends. The Cleveland Guardians superstar needs just one stolen base to join an exclusive club. Up to this point in MLB history, four players have reached at least 275 home runs and 275 stolen bases through their first 13 seasons: Barry Bonds, Bobby Bonds, Andre Dawson and Carlos Beltran.
The New York Mets could be aggressive at this year's MLB trade deadline, and Cleveland Guardians outfielder Steven Kwan is be a target.
José Ramírez is one stolen base away from matching a career stat line only previously achieved by Carlos Beltran, Barry Bonds, Andre Dawson and Bobby Bonds.
Brayan Rocchio opened the inning with a double. Austin Hedges moved him to third with a bunt and Kwan unloaded on a 2-2 curveball for his ninth homer of the season and a 6-2 lead. The homer was the longest of Kwan’s career and his third in the last three games. It must mean his strained right wrist is starting to feel better.
Jace LaViolette is beginning his MLB career after a decorated tenure at Texas A&M, and he signed an impressive rookie deal with Cleveland.
