The Guardians, on sports tickers

Answer:

CLE

Hint:

Think of the Ohio city where this MLB team plays their home games.

Explanation:

This clue refers to how the Cleveland Guardians baseball team is often abbreviated on sports tickers. "The Guardians" is their full name, but due to space limits on scoreboards or news crawls, they’re shortened to "CLE" (taken from "Cleveland"). It’s a straightforward abbreviation clue—no wordplay, just a common sports shorthand.
