Terry Francona, who managed Cleveland from 2013 to 2023, saw the franchise change its legendary name - but it was a move he remains happy about.

The Guardians have responded to their 10-game losing streak with a 10-2 stretch that has them, again, in the middle of the playoff race.

Cleveland Guardians fans just got a pretty significant update on the trade status of Jose Ramirez ahead of the MLB trade deadline.
