Lucas Giolito is back in the AL Central and back in a playoff race. The veteran pitcher, who in the past month has been traded by the Chicago White Sox, waived by the Los Angeles Angels and scooped up by Cleveland in the club's last-ditch effort to make the playoffs, starts for the Guardians on Mond
“And right now I’m very excited to be a part of the Guardians and what we’re cooking up right here, right now.”
The 29-year-old Giolito never settled in with Los Angeles, but said his performance had nothing to do with his new surroundings. Giolito spent six-plus seasons in Chicago, where he grew to appreciate what was going on in Cleveland. From the opposite dugout, he marveled at the Guardians’ closeness and how manager Terry Francona’s teams got better as the season progressed.
He never imagined how this season would unfold, and Giolito was completely caught off guard when the Angels waived him along with five others, including relievers Reynaldo López and Matt Moore, who were also claimed by the Guardians.“We’ve been together since we were 18, hit pretty much every single stop in the minor leagues,” he said. “We debuted at similar times, been in two trades together now.
