What’s behind the Guardians’ recent trades?

CLEVELAND, Ohio – Scribbles in my Guardians notebook after they traded Josh Naylor to Arizona for pitcher Slade Cecconi and a 2025 draft pick.

1. In the month of December, the Guardians have traded an All-Star first baseman (Naylor) and a Gold Glove second baseman (Andrés Giménez). Guardians President Chris Antonetti said one of the reasons for the deals was to enhance their starting pitching. Starter Luis Ortiz came from Pittsburgh in Giménez deal. He’ll immediately enter the rotation.
