Jim Bowden of The Athletic got this in his question-and-answer column:
With the Guardians having a surplus of pitching and middle infielders (even if a bunch are unproven and/or hurt), how do you see them attacking the deadline? The quantity-over-quality approach has helped in the past, but with an unbalanced 40-man roster plus a shortfall of power, what trades do you see them making? — Zach L.
Guardians president of baseball operations Chris Antonetti told me on my SiriusXM radio show Sunday that he is looking to trade for a complementary bat and a starting pitcher. For the complementary bat, here’s a range that could make sense: Lane Thomas at the high end, Mark Canha in the middle, Tony Kemp on the low end. In terms of starting pitchers, I’m talking in the range of Michael Lorenzen or Jordan Montgomery.
