The Cleveland Guardians made a somewhat eyebrow raising move, signing relief Connor Brogdon to a major league deal. Can Brogdon’s impressive changeup, velocity, and extension transform him into Cleveland’s next breakout arm, or is this just a depth move? Justin Lada and Jeff Ellis break down why the front office targeted Brogdon, weighing Stuff+ metrics and roster implications, while questioning whether dedicating a 40-man spot is worth the risk for a player who cleared waivers twice last season. We also see that Brendan Donovan is emerging as one of the hottest names on the market. The Guardians facing competition from the Mariners, Dodgers, and rival AL teams. Will Cleveland’s prospects be enough to land Donovan, or will the bidding war push him out of reach? We also dissect possible fits for Steven Kwan, debate the merits of targeting players like Brandon Lowe or Jesús Sánchez on Trade Talk Thursday heating up.
