That includes Texas A&M outfielder Jace LaViolette, their first-round pick. The 6-foot-6, 230-pound LaViolette, who just underwent hand surgery, received a $4 million signing bonus, which was above his slot value of $3.38 million. The Guardians selected him with the 27th pick in the first round.

Former Cleveland Guardians' Josh Naylor has reportedly been traded, with the deadline rapidly approaching.

You see, in game one of the Cleveland Guardians' doubleheader on Saturday in Kansas City, the star closer came in with a one-run lead in the bottom of the 10th. But he gave up a two-run, walk-off homer to Jonathan India.

The New York Mets could be aggressive at this year's MLB trade deadline, and Cleveland Guardians outfielder Steven Kwan is be a target.

MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand recently chose his top trade asset for each team, and named Cleveland’s best piece as Steven Kwan. “Kwan is under club control for two more years, so while the Guardians don’t have to move him, he may be their best asset to bring back a solid package of young talent,” wrote Feinsand.

Steven Kwan hit a two-run home run, Tanner Bibee struck out eight in five innings, and the Cleveland Guardians beat the Kansas City Royals 6-4 to earn a doubleheader split.
