10/29/24	Making Sense of Guardians, Cubs Odd Trade Rumor. The Cleveland Guardians were very active at the MLB trade deadline back in July, acquiring outfielder Lane Thomas and starting pitcher Alex Cobb in separate deals. Jacob Zanolla of Ivy League Cubs recently wrote that the Guardians and Cubs engaged in trade discussions for Hoerner several months ago. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/guardians/opinion/making-se...
10/21/24	Guardians Dubbed Top Trade Spot For Red Sox Slugger. The Cleveland Guardians were eliminated from the ALCS by the New York Yankees over the weekend, and in the loss, one thing was clear: the Guardians need offense. Cleveland's lineup was an area of weakness—or at least inconsistency—all throughout the season, and one position in which the Guardians are especially lacking is the outfield. While Cleveland did acquire Lane Thomas at the trade deadline and has a couple of youngsters in Jhonkensy Noel and Angel Martinez who should be getting more playing time in 2025, the Guardians could definitely use another bat out there.

10/16/24	Washington Nationals Part of 'The Most Consequential Trade' This Season. The Washington Nationals did not have the best season in 2024 as the team played to just a 71-91 record, good enough to finish fourth in the National League East, a division that saw three of its members earn playoff berths. While the Nationals are one of the two teams in the National League East that have not played a big part in the 2024 playoffs as a whole, the team made a move ahead of the 2024 MLB Trade Deadline that has played a big part in the postseason and one team's path to get there. On July 29th, one day before the 2024 MLB Trade Deadline, Washington traded veteran outfielder Lane Thomas to the Cleveland Guardians for Jose Tena and two prospects.
