Guards Fest Roster Set for January 21

The Cleveland Guardians are excited to announce the full roster confirmed for 2023 Guards Fest at the Huntington Convention Center of Cleveland on Saturday, January 21. Cleveland’s annual baseball festival will feature 28 current players on the Guardians 40-man roster, four alumni and three members of the coaching staff.

New to Guards Fest this year, Andrés Giménez, who likes to dabble in art in his free time, will be joining Jonathan Hrusovsky and Hrusovsky Custom Kicks to hold a cleat design competition. Fans will be able to submit a custom cleat design for Giménez during Guards Fest and the winner will have the design replicated by Hrusovsky Custom Kicks for Giménez to wear during 2023 Spring Training. The winning designer will also get their very own pair of custom cleats with their design.

Guards Fest will also include many of the activities fans have come to love at past Fan Fest events, including:

Current Guardians and alumni autograph sessions (additional tickets required)
Gold Glove photo opportunity (additional tickets required)
Player appearances and more on the Main Stage
Player photo opportunities (additional tickets required)
