Mike Chernoff on the Cleveland Guardians early season success, the MLB Draft & Stephen Vogt

The Cleveland Guardians always find ways to compete in the American League, even if the team's payroll isn't nearly as high as some of the other contenders in the league. Part of the reason for their success is the brain trust of Mike Chernoff & Chris Antonetti, who do as good a job as any in the league at evaluating talent. Chernoff joins UCSS to talk about his team's hot start, how they chose Stephen Vogt as manager, any possible deadline moves & what to expect for the rest of the season for the Guardians.
The Indians announced on Tuesday that Chris Antonetti is now the club’s President of Baseball Operations.
Additionally, Assistant General Manager Mike Chernoff has been named the Indians General Manager, and Director of Baseball Operations Derek Falvey is now the Tribe’s Assistant GM.
Antonetti, 41, recently completed his fifth season as Cleveland Indians General Manager after being elevated to the position following the 2010 campaign. Under Antonetti’s leadership the club secured long term agreements with Corey Kluber and Carlos Carrasco this past spring, joining Cody Allen, Trevor Bauer, Yan Gomes, Jason Kipnis and Michael Brantley among players under club control thru at least the 2018 season.
Chernoff, 34, just completed his 12th season with the Indians organization, serving the last five years since October 2010 in the Assistant General Manager role. Chernoff has been involved in all aspects of baseball operations and has played an instrumental role assisting Antonetti in the club’s player and contract procurement.
Falvey, 32, recently completed his eighth season with the Indians and fourth as the Director of Baseball Operations after being named to the position in December 2011. Falvey has worked closely with Antonetti and Chernoff in addition to assisting Terry Francona and the field staff with day-to-day activities involving the Major League club.
These moves will not impact the business operations as Indians Owner and Chairman Paul Dolan will continue to assume those responsibilities related to outgoing Indians President Mark Shapiro’s recent departure | guardspost.mlb...

We need more pitching

[@BradSellsCHS]

This was a great interview guys! Well done!

[@Elephant2024-wi2li]

The Guardians of 2024 remind me of my favorite team the TB Rays of last year, who won 99 games. Hope they have a better post-season than the Rays did in 2023.
