CLEVELAND, Ohio — Will Kole Calhoun or Ramon Laureano be back next season? Is the shortstop job Gabriel Arias’ to lose? Are Cleveland’s young starting pitchers about to run out of gas? Will David Fry have a role on this club beyond 2023? All of these storylines will play out over the next 3-4 weeks for the Guardians as the specter of Terry Francona’s retirement looms overhead.
On Thursday’s podcast, Paul Hoynes and Joe Noga break down what to watch as the Guards play out the string in September and what it all means for the next Cleveland skipper.
