Cleveland Guardians continue to stockpile under-the-radar relievers. Will those moves add up to a big payoff somehow? Justin Lada and Jeff Ellis break down the addition of Justin Bruihl and dissect the Guardians’ clear pitcher profile. Can Cleveland's analytical approach to pitching depth help built enough AL rivals despite a stingy free agent market?
The hosts also weigh in on the DFA of power prospect Jhonkensy Noel and explore if the Guardians have finally learned what hitting profiles don’t work at the MLB level. Trade targets, free agent options like Rob Refsnyder and Romy Gonzalez, and the need for real offensive upgrades headline a spirited “Trade Talk Thursday.” Join Justin Lada and Jeff Ellis as they assess Stephen Vogt’s bullpen strategies, potential breakout arms, and the path Cleveland must take to spark its lineup and stay relevant in the ever-evolving AL Central.
