Locked On Indians

Shane Bieber is reportedly returning to the Cleveland Guardians. This episode breaks down how and why Bieber is back in the fold for 2025 and maybe 2026, and looks at the risk for both sides and what the best case scenario is for the Guardians and Bieber in this deal. We also discuss if this deal takes the Guardians out of doing anything else in the way of adding pitching this offeason, as well as some other "trade rumors" about the Cincinnati Reds interest in Josh Naylor and Lane Thomas, and if that makes any sense. Juan Soto also signed his mega deal and Wily Adames signed a big contract over the weekend, both of which impacts Cleveland's draft status, so we detail those ramifications as well in this episode.   5:00 Shane Bieber's Return10:00 Bieber's Health and Future15:00 Guardians' Strategy and Winter Meetings20:00 Trade Rumors and Market Options25:00 Lane Thomas and Josh Naylor Trade Speculation30:00 Impact of Juan Soto's Deal Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!GametimeDownload the Gametime app, crea
