The Cleveland Guardians have actually begun to right the ship after losing 10 games in a row, having won seven of their last eight games to improve to 47-49. As

The Los Angeles Dodgers are linked in potential trade for Cleveland Guardians closer Emmanuel Clase and outfielder Steven Kwan.

The Guardians, according to sources, have told teams that they are not going to trade their two top relievers — Emmanuel Clase and Cade Smith. Contenders have been calling the Guardians since they dropped to 14 games behind the first-place Tigers in the AL Central and five games out of the last wild card spot.

Cleveland Guardians star Steven Kwan has been mentioned in trade rumors quite a bit in recent weeks, and those discussions just received a massive declaration.

Gaddis has been one of the Guardians top-end relievers for the last couple of seasons. Last season, Gaddis pitched to a 1.57 ERA in 74.2 innings pitched. He hasn’t been as sharp this season, pitching to a 3.69 ERA in 39.0 innings of work, but could still be a positive addition for a team in need of high-leverage relief pitching.

The Guardians may well be sellers at the trade deadline this season. Cleveland sits 12 games behind the Tigers in the American League Central and 4.5 games back in the Wild Card chase. They won six of their final ten heading into the Break which has them positioned squarely on the fence in terms of buying or selling at the deadline.
