The Cleveland Guardians clinched the American League Central over the weekend. Nevertheless, New York Mets fan and recent Cleveland Cavaliers trade acquisition Donovan Mitchell is not jumping on the bandwagon. Mitchell shared an honest response on Twitter to a question asking if he would root for the Mets or Guardians in the World Series.

Donovan Mitchellā€™s response may lead to raised eyebrows in Cleveland. But Guardiansā€™ star pitcher Triston McKenzie doesnā€™t seem to be worried.

Although, the Cleveland Guardians twitter account clearly wasnā€™t excited about Donovan Mitchellā€™s response.

The Guardians upset almost everyoneā€™s odds by taking the AL Central. The Chicago White Sox were favored but failed to reach their ceiling. The Minnesota Twins led the division through the first portion of the year but collapsed down the stretch. Donovan Mitchell will likely cheer on the Guardians through the playoffs.

But if the Guardians reach the World Series and happen to face the New York Mets, Mitchell will be in a difficult position.
