The Cleveland Guardians can say they had a highly successful 2024 campaign.
They bounced back from missing the playoffs in 2023 to win the AL Central and reach the American League Championship Series.
They are hungry for more, though.
Yes, last season was extremely productive on many fronts, but they are aiming even higher in 2025.
Everything will start in Arizona, where pitchers and catchers will report to the Guardians’ spring training complex.
With excitement building, the team posted a video showing equipment being loaded to be shipped to the spring training camp.

That truck doesn’t only provide transportation for baseball equipment.
It’s also loaded with the hopes and dreams of thousands of people.
It carries the drive to succeed of the players who have been working out for weeks to be close to midseason form by the time camp opens.
It also carries the fans’ dreams and their hunger for glory.
They tasted it last year with the division title and they knew they were very, very close to playing in their first World Series since 2016.
Above all things, fans know that the Guardians have a strong core in place to embark on a similar run this year.
They will need a few lucky breaks, but the foundation of a contender is there and 2025 could potentially be a huge year in Guardians history.
Everything starts with that truck going to Arizona.
