Breaking News: Guardians Trade Josh Naylor to Diamondbacks for Slade Cecconi and Comp B Pick

Well, the Guardians have now traded two starters from an ALCS finalist team:

Full trade, per ESPN sources:

Arizona acquires: 1B Josh Naylor

Cleveland acquires: RHP Slade Cecconi and a competitive balance Round B draft pick— Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) December 21, 2024

Cecconi sits 94 with his fastball, he also has a sinker, slider, cutter and change. All pitches have been absolutely demolished so far in the bigs. But he is 25. So... we're gonna transform him into Kluber, I guess. The Comp B is nice if you're into that sort of thing

Mark Feinsand says the Guardians are likely to fill Naylor's spot quickly.
