MLB Trade Deadline: Guardians, Cubs, Brewers Active

As the MLB trade deadline approaches, several teams are actively pursuing moves to strengthen their rosters or plan for the future. The Cleveland Guardians are targeting outfielders Taylor Ward and Jesus Sanchez, though Ward's fit is debated due to roster and contract considerations. The Milwaukee Brewers, still in contention, may trade Rhys Hoskins to cut costs but are encouraged by the debut of pitching prospect Jacob Misiorowski, who could bolster their rotation. The Chicago Cubs, leading the NL Central after acquiring Kyle Tucker, are exploring options to enhance their starting rotation, with Tyler Anderson and Sandy Alcantara as possible targets. Meanwhile, recent impactful trades like the Rafael Devers deal signal a competitive and active trade market. Teams are weighing immediate playoff needs against the value of long-term player control in a market with few clear sellers.
