Will Cleveland Guardians Keep HOARDING Prospects or Try to Make a Move for Nico Hoerner?

The Chicago Cubs signed Alex Bregman to a huge deal. Could the Cleveland Guardians trade for Cubs’ Nico Horner to help with struggling offense? Justin Lada and Jeff Ellis debate the likelihood and wisdom of such a deal, questioning whether Cleveland’s reluctance to part with prospects keep the club stuck in neutral despite glaring lineup weaknesses.The show also dives into the Guardians’ reputation as the league’s top “prospect hoarders,” according to a recent MLB Pipeline executive survey. Do Cleveland’s negotiation tactics and high prospect valuations hold them back from necessary improvements? We also discuss farm system rankings, player development strengths and weaknesses, and how front office philosophies impact trades for bats and pitching.     Everydayer ClubIf you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
