Guardians Given Exciting Prediction As MLB Trade Deadline Approaches

The Cleveland Guardians are in an interesting spot as the MLB trade deadline rapidly approaches.

Yes, they were second in the American League Central and owned the third-best record (32-26) in the AL heading into Tuesday night's slate of games.

However, their roster has some serious flaws and needs that must be addressed if Cleveland wants to make a deep playoff run in October.

The Guardians typically aren't the type of franchise to make any blockbuster moves for star players at the deadline, but one MLB analyst and insider still thinks Cleveland will be active in an aggressive way.

Mark Feinsand of MLB.com recently predicted the Guardians as a team to be a "likely buyer" ahead of the July 31 deadline.

The analyst noted that the Guardians are one of the teams "firmly in the AL Wild Card mix," which could incentivize them to make a move.
