5/13/24 Catcher gets his World Series ring; now he wants to get one for Cleveland. When Guardians catcher Austin Hedges opened last season with the eternally rebuilding Pirates, a World Series ring was the last thing on his mind. Ups and downs followed, but the wild-card Rangers did win the World Series, beating Arizona in five games. Hedges and outfielder Robbie Grossman, who recently rejoined Texas in a trade with the White Sox, received their World Series rings from manager Bruce Bochy and GM Chris Young at home plate before Monday's series opener at Globe Life Field.

5/01/24 Cleveland Guardians' Catcher Austin Hedges Would Make A Good Manager. Cleveland Guardians catcher, Austin Hedges, may have all the requirements to become an outstanding Major League Baseball manager. As a back-up catcher, Hedges brings outstanding defensive ability to his game. A right-handed hitter, Hedges won't ever make a living in baseball based on his offensive ability. Not much of a hitter, the 6-1, 220 pound Hedges has never hit above .231 in any of parts of 10 major league seasons.

2/20/24 Austin Hedges' Mom Prevented Assless Chaps At Rangers World Series Parade. Former Texas Rangers catcher Austin Hedges was never afraid to show his emotions during the club's World Series run last fall. At the team's championship parade and celebration on Nov. 3, Hedges nearly showed more than his emotions. It helped Hedges become a lightning rod on social media as the team's biggest cheerleader and his morale-boosting clubhouse shenanigans. Hedges, who signed a free-agent deal with the Cleveland Guardians this winter, wanted to cap the "surreal" season by wearing bottomless chaps to the parade, but his mother, who along with his father rode in the parade with him, shot the idea down.

12/12/23 Guardians agree with C Austin Hedges on $4 million, 1-year contract pending physical. The Cleveland Guardians are reuniting with Austin Hedges, agreeing with the popular veteran catcher on a $4 million, one-year contract, a person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press on Sunday. Hedges, who played in Cleveland from 2020-22, will sign the contract once he passes a physical, said the person who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the deal can't be finalized until the medical tests are completed. The Guardians made two moves with their catching on Sunday, trading Christian Bethancourt to the Miami Marlins. Cleveland, which claimed Bethancourt off waivers on Nov. 6, will receive cash considerations in the deal.

9/16/23 Saturday morning Rangers stuff. The Rangers got thumped in a familiar-looking loss last night, one that ended with catcher/bullpen ace Austin Hedges on the mound again. Shawn McFarland says they served that one up to the Guardians immediately after what was perhaps a season-saving sweep. McFarland also notes perhaps the night's only positive with Jonathan Ornelas knocking his first career base hit. Elsewhere, Evan Grant takes a look at the legitimacy of Corey Seager's MVP case, perhaps enhanced after some Shohei Ohtani weirdness this morning?

8/16/23 Austin Hedges reacts to being booed by Pirates fans. Former Pittsburgh Pirates catcher Austin Hedges experienced firsthand the highs and lows of Major League Baseball during his eight years in the big leagues, but he dealt with a new card in the deck at PNC Park. As tensions continued to rise with the Pirates falling fast and sinking their own ship down the National League standings, an outcry of disdain poured out over Hedges by the Bucco faithful. Top prospect Henry Davis was recalled in June and Endy Rodriguez in July. Hedges certainly did not feel the love Davis and Rodriguez received and was booed at by his own home fans.
