In a recent piece from Jeff Passan of ESPN, Passan predicted the Guardians and Chicago Cubs would swing a deal involving a player who'd be an exciting trade target. That player is former Cy Young starter Shane Bieber.

Emmanuel Clase will be sidelined for at least a month, along with Luis Ortiz. Does that change how the Guardians approach the MLB trade deadline?

Cleveland Guardians executive Chris Antonetti has delivered a significant update on the team's stance heading into the MLB trade deadline.

Amid a betting investigation that put closer Emmanuel Clase on paid leave, the Cleveland Guardians reportedly could use two other players as leverage on the trade market ahead of the deadline.

Any legitimate chance the Guardians had at contending this season walked out the door with Clase. Shane Bieber and Steven Kwan could follow.

Emmanuel Clase's team-friendly contract made him Cleveland's most valuable trade chip, but MLB's investigation has left the front office scrambling with limited options.

MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand recently chose his top trade asset for each team, and named Cleveland’s best piece as Steven Kwan. “Kwan is under club control for two more years, so while the Guardians don’t have to move him, he may be their best asset to bring back a solid package of young talent,” wrote Feinsand.

The Cleveland Guardians have seen a few of their best players' names thrown in trade rumors, but it seems they've already made their decision.

Anxiety over a potential trade could be affecting the Guardians' first baseman, who manager Stephen Vogt believes is pressing at the plate.
