Epstein headlines, tariffs and foreign conflicts haven't kept President Trump too busy to pick at an old scab that, for some Clevelanders, is still healing. Why it matters: The rebranding of the Cleveland Indians to the Guardians is one of the most polarizing subjects among local sports fans and residents over the past decade.

President Donald Trump is urging Cleveland Guardians ownership to reconsider their name and revert to the Cleveland Indians, so we decided to survey fans before Monday's game: Guardians or Indians?

If the Guardians decide to sell at the trade deadline, Steven Kwan would have plenty of suitors. The New York Mets would be very close to the top of that list.

Tomoyuki Sugano and the Baltimore Orioles entered the season with high expectations. Neither has lived up to the hype, potentially setting the stage for them to part company before the July 31 trade deadline.

With the trade rumors surrounding Guardians closer Emmanuel Clase, the expectation believes to be that he stays, even with Dodgers interest.

CLEVELAND — José Ramírez had a three-run homer in the first inning, Brayan Rocchio delivered a two-run single in the seventh and the Cleveland Guardians pulled away for a 10-5 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Monday night.

The Guardians (49-50) have won nine of their last 11 games since ending their 10-game losing streak. They trail first-place Detroit by 10 games and are 3 1/2 games behind the Red Sox for the third wild card spot. Tampa Bay (52-49) and Texas (51-50) are in front of them.
