Guardians executives have moved at a frenetic pace to try and keep their team relevant.
By mid-June Zunino was released because he could no longer catch or hit. He was done before the season started and somebody in the organization should have known that before they paid him $6 million.
Five days later on July 31, they traded right-hander Aaron Civale to the Rays. He was their last healthy veteran starter -- Triston McKenzie, Shane Bieber and Triston McKenzie were on the injured list -- and they received an injured minor league first baseman in return. Kyle Manzardo has since been activated and recently joined Class AAA Columbus.The next day, just before the 6 p.m.
Antonetti and Chernoff could have waited until the team returned home, but apparently the situation was critical. It’s unclear if they confronted torches and pitchforks when they met with the team, and it’s equally unclear just how calming their words were. On Aug. 22, the Guardians’ world was rocked again when Francona, unprompted by reporters, said he was considering retiring at the end of the season. It almost felt like the annoucement was planned.
