The Cleveland Guardians had a successful 2024 season, finishing with a 92-69 record and clinching the AL Central title. Key contributions came from Jose Ramirez, who nearly reached the 40-40 club, and Josh Naylor, who hit 30 home runs. The pitching staff excelled, particularly the bullpen led by Emmanuel Clase.

However, the Guardians faced challenges in the ALCS against the Yankees, where their bullpen faltered. The offense was heavily reliant on a few players, and injuries affected their starting rotation, particularly with Shane Bieber undergoing Tommy John surgery.

Looking ahead, the Guardians will need to strengthen their starting pitching and add depth to their lineup to remain competitive in 2025.
