MLB Insider Gives Update On Guardians Trade Deadline Plans

The Cleveland Guardians entered the 2025 season with hopes of returning to the postseason after reaching the ALCS last October.

However, the season has not gone as planned, and Cleveland is well out of a Wild Card spot after losing their last nine games.

With the Guardians' season spiraling out of control, the organization looks more like a seller rather than a buyer at the trade deadline, and Bob Nightengale of USA Today provided an update on what Cleveland's deadline plans are.

"The Cleveland Guardians are expected to unload first baseman Carlos Santana by the end of the month, who could be a nice fit for the Boston Red Sox, while also potentially moving outfielder Lane Thomas and perhaps closer Emmanuel Clase," wrote Nightengale.

Trading Santana and Thomas makes a ton of sense for the Guardians.

Both players are veterans who are impending free agents that a contender would want to add to their postseason roster.
