Trading Josh Naylor could be the Cleveland Guardians' path to adding more starting pitching.
has been on their need to add more starting pitching to the roster. While that remains true, the front office must also address their lineup and add another proven big-league bat in the offseason.
However, two key pieces of Cleveland's lineup could be on the move this offseason following a recent reportDoes a Guardians trade centered around their All-Star first baseman actually make sense for the organization?Oct 18, 2024; Cleveland, Ohio, USA; Cleveland Guardians first baseman Josh Naylor hits a two RBI double in the seventh inning against the New York Yankees during game four of the ALCS for the 2024 MLB playoffs at Progressive Field.
If the Guardians somehow find a trade package for Josh Naylor that includes pieces that improve Cleveland's current major league roster, trading him this offseason could make sense for the organization. It would be especially understandable to see the front office use Naylor in a trade that gets them more starting pitching. However, that is contingent on them filling his spot in the lineup with another move.
However, if any deal with Naylor at the center of it includes only prospects, then it could be viewed as a step back for a team that was in the ALCS just a season ago.
