Cleveland Guardians Trade Rumors: When Rumors Aren’t Rumors and What Makes a Josh Naylor Trade Work?
MLB Trade rumors haven’t quite heated up yet because the offseason hasn’t fully started in earnest. But we’ve already seen what people thought was a rumor pop back up into circulation while we’re waiting for the offseason to begin.
This episode looks back at some trade discussion that may have taken place in some capacity between the Cleveland Guardians and Chicago Cubs back in July and how legitimate it was and if it’s really a rumor with any legs.
The show also looks at what has to happen for a Josh Naylor trade to make sense for the Guardians and the decisions around it that would have to unfold.
We end the show by discussing other potential Guardians trade candidates and some hopeful trade targets.

Solid episode. Was able to listen to you guys in 4 different cities this week. 2 West Coast, 1 Central, and of course Cleveland.
I heard that Bieber to the Reds is imminent… Just saying.
Great show as always gentlemen 🫡
Still like my idea of Naylor for Arrighetit of the Astros.
Astros have a gapping hole at first base and have a bunch of starting pitchers besides Arrigetti (Valdez, Mccullers, Javier, Urquidy, Garcia, Blanco, Brown, France)
Sources say we are signing Soto this offseason.
