Matt Dery Grades the Guardians' Trade Deadline a Solid B Plus

Matt Dery joins Ken and Anthony to break down the Guardians' deadline haul, praising the low cost of adding Jo Adell, Nathaniel Lowe, and Foster Griffin while noting the Angels' dysfunction as reason for optimism on Adell's untapped potential. He grades the deadline a B-plus, well short of the franchise's Andrew Miller-level moves but a clear step up given how little Cleveland gave up in return. The conversation covers what the additions mean for Kyle Manzardo and David Fry's demotions, whether Jose Ramirez can find his form again now that he has more protection in the lineup, and how the Guardians stack up against surging AL threats like the Red Sox and Rays.
