On Monday, Guardians president of baseball operations Chris Antonetti spoke to the media, where he talked about a variety of different topics in relation to Cleveland’s offseason pursuits. One of those topics, according to Cleveland.com’s Paul Hoynes, was top prospect Travis Bazzana, who missed the end of last season with an oblique injury.
But, according to Antonetti, Bazzana is healthy and working out in his home country of Australia, who he’ll represent in next spring’s World Baseball Classic.
That update is great news for a variety of reasons, as it not only confirms that Bazzana should be healthy for spring training (barring anything unforeseen happening), but it also means that we’ll finally get a chance to see him play against some of the bigger names in baseball ahead of him (hopefully) making his MLB debut for the Guardians in 2026.
