Whoever it is, I think it would greatly benefit the future of the Guardians to go out and get a team-controlled starting pitcher. Could a name like Ranger Suárez get thrown around if the Philadelphia Phillies start looking at selling? He’s 26, under team control until 2026 and carries a 106 ERA+.

There are options like Frankie Montas and Luis Castillo, but both become free agents after next year.

Unfortunately, and evidenced by the swirling Plesac rumors, the starting pitching market isn’t that plentiful this go-around. That being said, I’m not naive to the type of contract the Guardians like to acquire. Which Starting Pitchers Could the Cleveland Guardians Target? Address a weakness for once and trade for a reliable, proven starter who can take the mound every five days down the stretch and give the Guardians a chance.

Add, ADD, for the love of God, add some talent to that starting rotation. So don’t strip away talent, don’t backslide and pretend like a crop of young guys can overperform and ride to the playoffs. That playoff spot is right there for the taking. We’ve talked ad nauseam about the relative ease of the Guardians’ division, and how the team can perform for long stretches of time (cite the month of June). As of today, the Guardians are 50-47, 1.5 games back of the Minnesota Twins for the division and 2.5 games back of the Tampa Bay Rays for the final Wild Card spot. It’s fun, and most of it won’t actually happen, so why not discuss in theory what certain trades would look like?īut let’s be honest, guys, this team is more geared up to add pieces rather than subtract and hope for a better outcome next season. I see the rumors online as this iteration of the trade deadline approaches, the once far-off rumors quickly coming into focus.

I know, it’s a novel concept in Cleveland, one we got a full taste of in 20, but one we’re not used to. How about – and stick with me here, Cleveland fans – the Guardians actually go for it for once?ĬRAZY. I’m tired of this front office cutting off their nose to spite their face. Trading Bieber or Plesac is taking their philosophy damn near to the breaking point of extremism. I don’t care about the way Mike Chernoff and Chris Antonetti tend to operate.

Selling at a point in your franchise’s history when World Series contention and a legitimate shot at the AL Central are in your grasp is just foolish business. Let’s continue to kick the can down the road and just wait for, I don’t know, 2024, ‘25, ‘26? Let’s slam the door, once again, on contending seriously for a playoff spot this season. Trade Zach Plesac? Shane Bieber? Are we crazy? Yes, let’s trade away valuable players for a haul of prospects and minor leaguers that can further clog up an already overly-congested 40-man roster and Triple-A club. I don’t understand all this talk about trading pitchers and major-league assets. By Anthony Alandt 1 week ago Follow Tweet
