The Cleveland Guardians beat the Chicago White Sox in an electric five-game series comeback from down 0-2 in the series to advance to the ALCS and face the Tampa Bay Rays for a chance to play in the World Series.

A Guardians vs. Rays ALCS is very interesting, as both clubs are very budget-conscious. Unlike the New York Yankees, Los Angeles Dodgers, Boston Red Sox, and other top spenders, the Rays and Guardians are very careful about how they spend their money.

But that doesn't mean they've built their teams in the same way. In fact, it almost couldn't be more different. As Bradford Doolittle of ESPN highlighted, these Rays and Guardians teams have had very different plans for how they've been built.

Guardians and Rays had very different team-building philosophies to get to the ALCS

"Homegrown percentage: 18%," Doolittle writes. "First baseman Jonathan Aranda was an international signing. Left fielder Chandler Simpson and left-hander Ian Seymour were second-round picks, and shortstop Taylor Walls was taken in the third. That's it. Everyone else on the Rays' division series roster was acquired from another organization or via free agency."

This is a wild team-building plan for the Rays, as only 18% of their roster is made up of homegrown talent, based on their 40-man roster heading into the ALCS.

Most of the Rays' roster has come from other teams, with Junior Caminero being the most notable trade addition, with the Guardians sending him Tampa Bay's way years ago in a move that now looks like a major mistake.

But what about the Guardians' roster construction? How have they built their ALCS-contending roster? Well, there is one massive difference that highlights how differently these teams have built their rosters.

"Homegrown percentage: 58%," Doolittle writes. "According to Fangraphs, the Guardians' 40-man roster is just 1% behind St. Louis for the highest figure in baseball."

While the Rays have just 18% of their roster comprised of homegrown talent, the Guardians have 58% of their ALCS roster made up of homegrown talent.

That's a massive 40% difference in how these teams have built their ALCS roster. The Rays made their money by trading for and signing players over the year.

Cleveland, on the other hand, has built its team by making the right draft decisions and signing the right players in international free agency.

Doolittle shared that, of the 26-man roster for the ALDS for the Guardians, 16 were internally developed by the Guardians, which is nearly as many homegrown players as the Rays, San Diego Padres, and Milwaukee Brewers had combined this postseason.

So, with this ALCS matchup on tap, it's going to be one of the more interesting storylines to follow. How do these budget-conscious teams fare with their vastly different team-building philosophies?
