| 3/10/25 | The most important .186 hitter in the majors? Why everybody loves Austin Hedges. It is 8 o'clock on a February morning in the Cleveland Guardians clubhouse, and Austin Hedges is, as he often is, shirtless, which always amused one of his managers, Terry Francona, because, as the 65-year-old skipper put it, "with his shirt off, he looks like me." Hedges is, as always, talking, teaching and laughing, as are his teammates, though it's hard to imagine a group ever laughing harder than after Game 1 of the 2023 World Series, when the Texas Rangers' Adolis Garcia hit a walk-off home run, while Hedges, in the hole at the time, celebrated wildly -- inspiring an Instagram meme with what Hedges might have been thinking at that moment: Great, I don't have to hit! "It was hilarious ... it wasn't very nice, but it was hilarious," Hedges said. Source: https://africa.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/44123618/ml... |
| 2/26/25 | Seattle Mariners' Cal Raleigh Credits Unlikely Source For Helping Him Win Platinum Glove. Raleigh played in 153 games last year, most of them at catcher, and took home both the Gold and Platinum Glove awards in the American League. While his success can be attributed to good M's coaching and his own great talent and work ethic, Raleigh also got some help from an unlikely source: Cleveland Guardians backstop Austin Hedges. According to a recent story in The Athletic, Raleigh called Hedges after the 2023 season and the pair started working on things like pitch receiving.

| 12/08/24 | Recent Guardians Trade Rumors Shouldn't Come As A Surprise. The Cleveland Guardians have made minimal moves so far this offseason. Yes, they've re-signed veteran catcher Austin Hedges and brought back Shane Bieber on a one-year deal. Now, two key members of the Guardians roster, Josh Naylor and Lane Thomas, are swirling around in trade rumors, while it's obvious Cleveland needs more major league bats in their lineup. On Thursday, Ken Rosenthal of The Atheltic reported that Cleveland is "open to trade offers" on both players as they head into their last season of team control.

| 11/07/24 | AL Central champion Guardians bring back Hedges for 2025. Austin Hedges' contributions went well beyond being just a light-hitting backup catcher for the Guardians last season. The popular catcher agreed to a $4 million, one-year contract Wednesday to return to the AL Central champions, who credited Hedges' leadership as a major factor in the team's unexpected success in 2024. The Guardians took over first place in April and stayed there, going 92-69 and winning the AL Central under rookie manager Stephen Vogt. Cleveland beat Detroit in a tight Division Series before losing in five games to the New York Yankees in the American League Championship Series.
