The Guardians lost an important game to the Royals yesterday and welcome the Rockies to town today as the trade deadline approaches.
Nicole has your recap here of one of the most boring Guardians games of the season. I followed it up with my summary of why it is time to move on from 2026 here.
Zack Meisel has a trade deadline piece up for the Athletic. Ken Rosenthal also has a more general article that describes Cleveland's tough-nosed approach to trades. Reading between the lines for all this, I would
guess it seems most likely that Shane Bieber gets traded and maybe Jakob Junis. Other than that, I think the team will remain pretty much as is. I am sad that Bieber may not pitch again as a Guardian, darn elbow setback. But, I understand why they might be compelled to move him.
Paul Hoynes of Cleveland.com had some more signing numbers for Cleveland's draft class. They spent about $600K over their pool, so guess Dolan's not so cheap after all! (No, he's still cheap).
