TESTED: Cleveland Guardians Bullpen Faces DEPTH Concerns with Hunter Gaddis Forearm Soreness

Cleveland Guardians' bullpen depth faces early tests as Hunter Gaddis battles forearm soreness. Can the Guardians' revamped bullpen hold up without key contributors on Opening Day? Justin Lada and Jeff Ellis debate the outlook for pitchers like Hunter Gaddis, Daniel Espino, and looking at the run for Rhys Hoskins’ role at first base and DH after a slow spring start. We also debate the outfield puzzle with Chase DeLauter’s durability concerns threaten to upend the ideal lineup alongside Steven Kwan. Will George Valera, and Nolan Jones step up, or does center field risk undermining Kwan’s already worrisome consistency issues.
