Guardians Expected To Trade Carlos Santana At MLB Deadline

News summary

The Cleveland Guardians are at a crossroads as the MLB trade deadline approaches, grappling with a recent losing streak and slipping playoff hopes. While their bullpen remains anchored by closer Emmanuel Clase, who is unlikely to be traded for a veteran bat, the team faces pressure to bolster its offense. Veteran first baseman Carlos Santana, a fan favorite and multiple-time Guardian, is increasingly seen as a likely trade candidate to open roster spots for prospects and adjust for the team's uncertain playoff prospects. Santana's current season performance is modest, but his defensive skills and postseason experience still make him attractive to contenders. With the Guardians only a few games out of a Wild Card spot, their front office must quickly decide whether to buy for a playoff push or sell veterans like Santana to rebuild. The trade market's unusual dynamics this year may provide Cleveland an opportunity to capitalize on Santana's value despite the team's struggles.
