The Cincinnati Reds have hired Chris Valaika away from the Guardians, who was Cleveland’s hitting coach the last three seasons. He’ll join new Reds manager Terry Francona and his staff in Cincy.

Following a season-ending injury for Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson, fans at the game seemed to have, well, “mixed” reactions to Watson going down. Players commented after the game, further fueling a seemingly growing divide between fans and players.

Here to break it all down was our Rocco Nuosci alongside longtime sportscaster John Telich on this week’s Budweiser’s From the Sidelines, presented by North Ridgeville Convenient Sunoco on Center Ridge and Barton Roads. Take a listen below!

What a magical summer and season it was for our Cleveland Guardians! Sure, it didn’t end the way that we all dreamed it would. But, there is hope and optimism toward the future with a young team, manager on the rise, and plenty of farm system pieces on the way.

A HUGE thank you goes to all of our 2024 Guardians season sponsors, we appreciate you jumping on board with us and the Guardians all season long. And, of course, a big thanks goes to our loyal listeners and Guards fans who tune in each and every night. We’ll see you in Goodyear in the spring, with Opening Day at the corner of Carnegie and Ontario after that. Until then, Go Guardians!

A forgettable sports weekend in Cleveland was capped off Sunday afternoon as the Cleveland Browns fell for the fifth straight week, this time at home to the Bengals, 21-14. In the loss, Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson went down with an Achilles injury that will sideline him for the rest of the year.

Chronicle-Telegram Browns beat reporter Scott Petrak joined our Bruce Van Dyke to talk about the crowd reaction in Cleveland to Watson’s injury along with remarks made by Browns players toward fans after the game.
