All right, Cleveland trades Bo Naylor to the Milwaukee Brewers. They just basically sent
him to the Miners, so this isn't a major trade here. Craig Yoho, Blake Perkins, this is a depth
move. But I think I would summarize all of this this weekend, Tom, with as follows. Cleveland's
getting smacked down by the Diamondbacks right now, and they probably have more to worry about
on the field than making trades at this point. And you know, Cleveland, Tom, they're never going
to get super aggressive at a trade deadline. That's just not going to happen with them.
But what do you make of sort of where the Guardians are at here? We know where the
Brewers are at. They're just making trades to fortify the back end of the roster, the 25th,
the 26th man, and that's all. Yeah, this is, this one's more about the guards. You know,
it's a non-needle mover, what it really comes down to. Bo Naylor's not a good player. You want
to get some depth pieces. I think that's fine. This really comes down to the Guardians, because
as I said about the Guardians for a large portion of the season, you have a great pitching staff,
and Gavin Williams has been awesome. Parker Massick has been an amazing breakout. Tanner Bybee
is still super solid. You know, Slate Saccone is okay. You have great pitching,
you have a great bullpen, but you just don't have enough offense. So maybe it's a move before
another move. Maybe they're trying to set themselves up to acquire another player. They
need one extra prospect, one extra this, just to be able to flip them and move something along
those lines. But at face value, I have to wait to see what the other results are going to be
come, you know, Monday night.
