Cleveland's clubhouse seems to be in good shape after the additions of Josh Bell and Mike Zunino.
to the major league staff from Triple-A Columbus appears to have the Guards heading in that direction this offseason.
Knowing ahead of time that Bell is not likely to disrupt the chemistry the Guardians built last season is also a plus. “The biggest thing is hitting from both sides of the plate, and normally equally well,” he said. “Providing power, regardless of where he hits. you can pretty much think he’s going to hit in the middle. That’s why we got him. When you have switch-hitters that can hit from both sides, it makes it really difficult for the opposing team.”Francona said he met Zunino at the All-Star Game in Denver in 2021 and instantly struck a rapport with the 31-year-old backstop.
“With health comes really good defense, a guy that can control run the game, and then hopefully adds a bunch of power,” Francona said. “But if that power isn’t there, we still have a guy that runs the game and catches, which we obviously feel very strongly about.”Francona said the Guardians have been pretty honest about how much they like catching prospect Bo Naylor, but that does not necessarily mean the 22-year-old will be ready for opening day.
