With free agency on the cusp of starting, and the “non-tamper” window being bust in half, the Cleveland Browns will be looking to add to a roster that, while beset by injuries to key players, made it to the playoffs and then they just didn’t play the game right? That’s how that went, for sure. Either way, there are holes across a roster that looks to be threading the needle of an open window of contention with the aging of core players, return from devastating injuries for others, and expanding payroll numbers for most of the roster. With the restructuring of some players and converting base salaries into bonuses to spread the hit across multiple years for others, general manager Andrew Berry finds himself with just over $17 million in cap space1 as he tries to find a complementary pass rusher across from Myles Garrett and a wideout that can take the top off opposing defenses to pair with Amari Cooper plus other spots.

Matt and Todd break down the struggles at shortstop, Tyler Freeman in centerfield, Gavin Williams’ elbow, and Stephen Vogt’s tendencies.

The Cleveland Browns impact on free agency, to this point, has been minimal, and that makes sense, given their cap space situation. They re-signed most of their defensive line that had gone towards free agency and brought in a few new linebackers to replace those that did not return. But the biggest splash they made was trading 5th- and 6th-round draft picks for former Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy, pulling him from the languished hell of Mile High to try and rebuild his profile around the league. Jeudy has never had a 1,000-yard receiving season and has never caught more than 67 passes in a year, failing to fulfill the hype that came with him when he left Alabama.

So much of our reality can be changed by how we view certain things. There’s the obvious “optimist/pessimist” dichotomy with water glasses, but Matthew Berry of NBC Sports, and formerly ESPN, would write an article every year talking about this with regard to fantasy football. You can make any stat seem like a good one or a bad one depending on how you view it, and with Opening Day just a few hours away, my love for the Cleveland Guardians is similar, but I almost always like to take the glass-half-full approach. Obviously, others feel differently, and that’s okay, but going into a slog of a season like MLB has, it’s hard to go in with downcast eyes. So let’s take a look at some negative viewpoints and let me give you the posi vibes I’m feeling.

In this week's very special episode of the WFNY CornerCast, Joe Gerberry hosted Eric Olsen, writer/podcaster/radio host, who recently created a podcast titled "Heading For Home: A Ten Cent Beer Night Riot Odyssey". Eric describes the events that helped set up one of the craziest nights in

Matt and Todd bread down the 4-4 road trip, the domination of Steven Kwan, what to do about Cookie Carrasco, the rise of Daniel Schneemann, the lack of pop from Kyle Manzardo, plus stories about growing up an Indians fans with Papa Dery.

The Cleveland Guardians sent Triston McKenzie to the minors to work on his approach. It was the right thing to do by him and by the big club.

Rumors abound have San Francisco 49ers’ wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk not just on the trade block, but possibly on his way to Cleveland. Should the Browns make the move?

The WFNY BrownsCast are all here for your Week 2 preview! The guys discussed the rough Week 1 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, the state of the offensive line, injuries to the defense, and more.

It would have been easy to turn off Game 3 of the ALCS in the 9th inning and call it over. But for at least one night, “over” wasn’t over and the Guardians got to celebrate at the corner of Carnegie and Ontario.
