The Guardians begin 2025 Spring Training games this Saturday - what should Guardians’ fans be watching for in the weeks ahead?
1. Hoping for no significant injuries
If this happens, Spring Training is an unmitigated success. Unfortunately, usually a week or two into Spring Training, there is an inevitable announcement of injuries, especially for pitchers. Last year, the Guardians experienced a late-camp COVID outbreak that set some guys back. Every Spring Training, there is a foul ball off a shin or an awkward run for a player that gets my heart in my throat. Knock on wood, put on your lucky Guardians’ hat, and hope for an injury-free camp most of all.
