After winning both his starts with a perfect 0.00 ERA and a 1/20 BB/K ratio, it was revealed that he has been feeling discomfort since his Opening Day start and has ligament damage in his elbow. He has been recommended to get the dreaded Tommy John surgery and won’t pitch again in 2024. It’s possible, even likely, that his fruitful tenure with the Guardians is over.

Those are all desirable traits. However, when it comes to position players, they are required to hit. The offensive profile is often what keeps a player on the roster or in the starting lineup. In the case of Cleveland Guardians center fielder Myles Straw, his lack of hitting may cost him his roster spot. Needing a space on the roster, the organization announced on Friday that they have placed him on waivers. “Updates ..read more

But, he did not want to have a farewell tour because he never made the game about himself. It was always about his players and Francona wanted to keep it that way.

According to Mandy Bell, Francona does not foresee managing again but he is leaving the door open to remain involved in baseball operations.
