With the MLB trade deadline right around the corner, the Cleveland Guardians have been linked to four pitchers.
First and foremost, they need to acquire another starting pitcher. Adding a talented arm to their rotation would go a long way towards helping them compete for a World Series appearance.While both needs would be wise to address if possible, pitching would be the top priority. If the Guardians can get another consistent high-level starter, they are going to be a serious threat in the American League.Those four pitchers were Erick Fedde, Jon Gray, Yusei Kikuchi, and Jack Flaherty.
Fedde is obviously a player that could come in and make a massive impact. However, pulling off a trade within the division is never an easy task. He has started in 20 games this season, compiling a 7-3 record to go along with a 2.98 ERA, a 1.11 WHIP, a 3.3 K/BB ratio and 117.2 innings pitched. Kikuchi is one of the sleeper trade deadline targets that teams who need starting pitching should pursue. His numbers aren't as good as some other options, but a change of scenery could do him very good. He has started 21 games, recording a 4-9 win-loss record, a 4.54 ERA, a 1.31 WHIP, a 4.5 K/BB ratio, and 111.0 innings pitched.
