Guardians sign Colin Holderman to $1.5 million, 1-year deal
Holderman spent the past four seasons with the Pittsburgh Pirates
I have the Cy Young now, uh, what else do I have to accomplish in this game, um, you know, World Series championship, so we just gotta get everybody pushing in the same direction. Um, I think it’s going to be better next year, but, you know, talk is cheap. We have to show up and do it. One more. I personally love that if if we’re losing, the fans don’t show up in the in the same numbers. It’s not like Chicago or or Saint Louis, like, if you want fans, you gotta win. um. And they just they they deserve it. That’s kind of what I think we need to, to get back to is that gritty, um, blue collar personality that Pittsburgh is. Um, so I’m gonna push for that. I know there are others that are going to push for that, and then whoever’s new to the organization, they’re gonna realize real quick that that’s what, that’s what the goal is.
