Smoke Signals

This week on the Guardians of the Future podcast, we check in on the Double-A Akron RubberDucks. What does the pitching depth look like in Akron with Gavin Williams up to Double-A?How will Akron replace Williams' innings? What's with Angel Martinez's slow start and the lack of hitting so far by the prospects on the RubberDucks? We also review the impressive rookie debuts of Logan Allen and Tanner Bibee, discuss why the Guardians decided to give David Fry a try in their three catcher experiment. We discuss the return of Ethan Hankins to an affiliate for the first time since 2019, Bryan Lavastida's future now that he cleared waivers. I also give as many injury updates on guys as I can, talk a little bit about the pitching pipeline looking suspect below Double-A and answer some listener questions.
