Cleveland Guardians Land Melancholic MLB Trade Deadline Prediction

What a difference a year makes. At this time last season, the Cleveland Guardians looked like World Series contenders, and fans were hoping they would go out and land a couple of pieces at the MLB trade deadline to put themselves over the top. In 2025? Well, it's a very different story.

The Guardians have slumped to 40-46 on the season, having lost eight straight games to fall further and further in the American League Wild Card standings.

Last year, Cleveland ended up winning the AL Central, but this time around, the Guardians are so far behind the Detroit Tigers that you would need a telescope to see them.

As a result, many are wondering what exactly Cleveland will do before July 31. Is it possible the Guardians will buy in an attempt to wiggle their way back into a Wild Card spot? Or will they start jettisoning some players to recoup some prospects? Well, Gabb Goudy of the Carlos Baerga Show doesn't think either thing will happen.

"I don't see them making any large moves or trades or anything crazy," Goudy said.
