Cecconi Embraces Bullpen Role | Cleveland Guardians News
Description
Slade Cecconi’s career got a dramatic twist when the Guardians traded for Foster Griffin, forcing him into the bullpen—immediately. After 22 starts, he stepped in against the Mets, tossing 2⅔ innings, striking out four and allowing just one run. He embraced the switch, calling it the perfect fit after his recent struggles and acknowledging he’d be happy to close games or pitch multiple innings if needed. Manager Vogt sees him as a versatile weapon, ready for high-leverage roles, while Cecconi’s sole focus remains winning a World Series. With the Guardians locked in a tight division race, Vogt kept him fresh for the grind ahead—and Cecconi’s arm is ready for whatever comes next.
