CLEVELAND, Ohio — Tanner Bibee, Ben Lively and Luis Ortiz are among the starting pitchers who should feel pretty confident about their spots in the Guardians rotation. Beyond that, there are a bunch of arms that have something to prove in spring training in order to win a regular turn every five days.

The Cubs released a list of 20 non-roster invitees to Major League Spring Training on Friday that was headlined by top prospect Matt Shaw, who ranks 19th on MLB Pipeline’s Top 100 Prospects list and looks positioned to compete for Chicago’s starting third-base job.

There is no such thing as a perfect baseball team. Well, maybe the Dodgers would qualify. But does anyone with a connection to Progressive Field care if Shohei Ohtani is going to pitch and hit this year?

If you have followed the Cleveland Guardians offseason, you know that they currently have an opening at second base and right field. Yes, they could definitely use another starter and a relief arm, but those needs are not as urgent or pressing as second base.
