When it comes to the Cleveland Guardians name change, Amed Rosario gets it

The Cleveland Guardians will be well represented by Amed Rosario.

Amed Rosario is really immersing himself within the Cleveland Guardians fanbase. He wasn’t the focal point of the Guardians and Mets trade that saw Francisco Lindor get sent off to New York, but he was the player that stepped up in the first Lindor-less season the Guards have had in some time.

He was a great fill-in player and played pretty high-level baseball. Rosario and Lindor were near identical in defensive play, and Rosario out-hit Lindor at the plate. The only real area Lindor out performed Rosario was in home runs and even then, not by much.

So it shouldn’t come to anyone’s surprise that Rosario would continue to engrain himself into the fanbases’ hearts by answer the ever controversial name-question with the utmost tact and poise. When asked what it was like to call the team The Guardians, Rosario said;

"I’ve gotten used to it because at teh end of the day, we’re representing Cleveland."

Amed Rosario is taking the right approach to the Clevelnad Guardians name change

Too many people took too much stock in the name on the front of the jersey, instead of the city they play in. They are Cleveland’s baseball team, nothing else matters. Rosario is right in his views with how he sees the team.

It’s ok to be sad that the name changed, that’s life. Things change all the time. Sometimes name changes need to happen. Sometimes they should happen. For instnace, it makes no sense that Utah’s basketball team is called “The Jazz”. Sure, they were originally from New Orleans but did no one think it was time to change the name?

I for one have never been hung up on names before when it comes to sports teams. Why would I? A team name is nothing more than something to market and profit off of. So why would it matter if the team is called The Indians or The Guardians?

As long as they play in Cleveland, that’s all that matters.
