Being a Guardians fan this time of year is typically frustrating.
As an organization, the Guardians have proven to be quite adept in so many areas. Not only is the franchise one of the most successful (by wins and losses) over the last handful of years, but it also routinely has its brightest minds recruited to join other front offices. This is truly ideal, with the Guardians creating sustained success on the field that other teams would like to emulate. That sustained success has costs, though.
But not, like, actual costs. In fact, it’s usually the opposite.
