You're right. They used to be Indians until 2021.
But, they did not relocate to Mumbai as Mumbai has had Indians since 2008 - the first ever IPL.
The Cleveland Guardians (formerly Indians) thought that with 'Indians' they are actually making Cricket popular and it can be disastrous for the future of Baseball, so they abandoned it at once. Fear of Cricket was the reason in fact.
Now, they have another reason to fear because there's a cricket world cup in June this year. It will be co-hosted by USA. Grand Priere, Nassau and Central Boward Regional Park will host the matches. Grand Priere being the neighbouring Ground to the Guardians, I'm pretty sure they will have to listen the roar from the deafening India vs Pakistan match on June 9.
Here's the full schedule and tickets counter.
Great answer.

That's fascinating. I would have thought Indians had been in Mumbai for more than 16 years.
