Cleveland Indians will become the Guardians

The conflict over the Guardians name in Cleveland has come to an end.

The Cleveland Guardians baseball team and the Cleveland Guardians roller derby team released a joint statement on Tuesday morning, announcing they will share the same name going forward. 

“The Cleveland Guardians Baseball Company, LLC and Guardians Roller Derby are pleased to announce an amicable resolution of the lawsuit filed by Guardians Roller Derby, whereby both organizations will continue to use the Guardians name."

The Guardians — previously known as the Indians — announced the name change in July, which would go into effect for the 2022 baseball season.
