Cleveland Guardians 2024 Position Review: C - Naylor's Missing Bat, Fry's Heroics, Hedges' Vibes

It seemed like the Cleveland Guardians had a strong offensive-catching prospect to graduate to the majors in 2023 in Bo Naylor. What is there to take away from his lack of offense in 2024 but improving his defense?

This episode discusses Bo Naylor's offensive struggles in 2024 but defensive gains, as well as Austin Hedges' role being helped by David Fry's breakout before he was hurt.

We also get into the Guardians minor league catching prospects, Cooper Ingle, Jacob Cozart, and Kody Huff. And could Ralphy Velazquez return to catching in 2025? Listen to find out more.
