The Cleveland Guardians had a unique choice ahead of them, entering the 2024 season. The team has been looking for the guy who will be the true successor of Francisco Lindor at the shortstop position.
It was never going to be Amed Rosario, so once he was traded in 2023, we all knew that the search will be on this year. But the Guardians knew who they wanted to try out first, and it was none other than their long-time shortstop prospect: Brayan Rocchio.
Cleveland was very intent on playing out Rocchio throughout the entire 2024 season.
