The Guardians still aren’t officially in the postseason, but their magic number is one and they should seal their ticket within the next two days.

Then you have the Columbus Clippers of Triple-A: they clinched, on Wednesday, the International League’s Second Half title, sealing their ticket to the playoffs.

Beginning on Tuesday, the Clippers will play a best-of-three Championship Series with the Omaha Storm Chasers to decide the International League champs.

The Akron RubberDucks, the Guards’ Double-A team, are currently playing the Eastern League Division Series.

They drafted well, they developed their talent, and they tailored it to the MLB club needs.

The Guards have built a sustainable monster that should be highly competitive for years to come
