Is Austin Hedges actually the MOST IMPORTANT player on the Cleveland Guardians?

Austin Hedges' defensive skills aren't a question but even with his lack of offensive production; is Austin Hedges the most important piece of this Cleveland Guardians team? The Answer might shock you.
Also trade rumors are firing up for the Cleveland Guardians and hopefully more pitching help is on the way. Links to Chicago White Sox's Erick Fredde have been reported as a possible target for the Guardians. And Gavin Williams may finally be on his way back up after completing his rehab pitches in triple A.
Bronny James was drafted 55th overall in Thursday's second round of the NBA draft. Are you rooting him to succeed in the league?
And lastly Nick Chubb; will he be ready for week 1? New rehab footage is looking promising that the running back could be back on the field by September.

This Team need 2 top quality Starting Pitchers and 1 Hot Bat

[@robertcurry7860]

Most definitely!!!!

[@Nick-jd5ge]

Tyler ward right stick outfielder with power. Go after him.

[@Brownstronaut]

Let's go. Chubb coming back with vengeance.

[@Elephant2024-wi2li]

There really are not very many offensive oriented catchers these days in MLB. Rutschman, Realmuto, Smith, and William Contreras are probably the best ones.

[@johnbontea1353]

I'm wondering like what are we gonna do when teams ask for manzardo and noel are we gonna trade them to get the starter we need ?

[@markfreeland3322]

Jose is the most important

[@richardk7833]

I wish he could hit .200! He should be the new MENDOZA Line player! I realize he is a clubhouse leader, but a .187 lifetime hitter making $4 million dollars. I guess with todays salaries he is worth it!

[@robertcurry7860]

Austin Hedges....the Guards' chemistry mascot?? (hahaha) 🤣
if.....Antonetti and Chernoff pull the trigger and trade for Fedde, will they do it before next Tuesday's game vs CWS at the Jake (July 2nd) ? ....cause, Fedde is the white sox scheduled starter for the CWS on Tuesday. Hmmm

[@tempe1d]

Jay is in his feelings about Rich Paul. The Agent? Scott Boras does exactly the samething. Jay doesnt say a peep. Sounds like hate and jealousy. Payton Manning AND brother did the same thing. Jay wasnt upset about that. Facts. 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@fury19k28]

I love Hedges just wish he was better at the plate. But my god Mckenzie is absolutely horrible. he spiked the ball into the grass twice and threw a ball 6 feet over the catcher. Atleast Carrasco gets it over the plate even though he will throw a meat ball every once and awhile.

[@siegewithme]

I’m so worried about Triston. You can see he doesn’t know where the ball is going and his confidence is in the tank. The man looks shook every time he takes the mound :(

[@fury19k28]

@@siegewithme he should have gone ahead and had the surgery last year. if he decides to now, he would be out this season and next.

[@johnbontea1353]

Robert horry

[@stephenshort6446]

The title says most important PLAYER… NO! And you all know it, most important PERSON maybe.

[@bigdlavely]

Dumbest take ever from Jay to say hedges. Why is he still in the main rotation? He's losing his fastball lol

[@kurtsmith7104]

Hedges need to be traded, dfa needs to go.....

[@Nick-jd5ge]

Um no. Jose was like a little kid on Christmas day when he found out hedges was coming back. Said Jose hedges is the missing link we didn't have in 2023.

[@cadenjs199]

This team is a complete joke I’m telling you guys😂

[@Al-ph6gl]

Lebron deserves nepotism he's brought so much money to the league
