The Cleveland Guardians are at a crossroads with the MLB trade deadline just over two weeks away. Should the team that was in the ALCS last October be buyers or sellers? Why not a bit of both? What if the Guardians dealt from a position of depth to get a player who dramatically improves their lineup?

The Reds are in need of a quality bat, and they could get it by trading with the Guardians for this All-Star outfielder.

And, entering play Tuesday, Padres first baseman Luis Arraez had struck out nine times this season. Nine. It's not like he's missed time with injury either. Arraez has played in 84 of San Diego's 90 games.

That'd be a massive deal from one end of Ohio to the other.

The Cleveland Guardians have a few pieces that could be interesting trade targets for World Series contenders, and ESPN's Jeff Passan named two of Cleveland's stars who would be great fits for opposing clubs.

The Philadelphia Phillies are linked by MLB insider Jeff Passan to Cleveland Guardians closer Emmanuel Clase amid team's dire bullpen need.
