Guardians prepare for MLB trade deadline with significant roster decisions

The Cleveland Guardians face critical decisions ahead of the 2026 MLB trade deadline. With Jose Ramirez and Angel Martinez likely remaining on the IL, the team must assess its needs, particularly for right-handed power hitters and high-leverage relief options. The Guardians' rotation is strong, but they may seek additional pitching depth, possibly targeting rehabbing pitchers. Current players like Franco Aleman and Steven Kwan might be traded as the Guardians consider both acquiring help and managing their roster. Rivalry dynamics suggest limited trade opportunities with certain teams, while potential partners include the Orioles, Mets, and Reds.
