Cleveland Guardians stir up fan outrage with Nic Enright designation
The Cleveland Guardians sparked significant discontent among their fanbase with a series of roster moves on Tuesday. Among five total transactions, one decision in particular raised eyebrows and ignited frustration: the organization chose to designate relief pitcher Nic Enright for assignment.
As part of their roster strategy, the Guardians selected four players from their minor league affiliates, the Akron RubberDucks and Columbus Clippers, to bolster their forty-man roster for the offseason. However, the absence of Enright from this list left many supporters feeling disheartened.
Enright, a fan favorite, had established himself as a reliable presence in the bullpen. Over the course of the season, he made 27 appearances for the Guardians, showcasing his potential and garnering a loyal following. His designation for assignment raises the possibility that his time with the organization may come to an end, leaving a void for both the team and its devoted fans.
The decision came as a surprise to many, given Enright’s contributions and the affection he earned throughout the season. As the Guardians navigate their roster adjustments, the sentiment among supporters is clear: the departure of Nic Enright is a tough pill to swallow.
