The Guardians are week away from the 6PM EST, July 30th, MLB trade deadline. With a four-game division lead diminishing in a team-wide slump, what can Cleveland fans expect in the days ahead?

News leaked that Brayan Rocchio is headed to Columbus from Zack Meisel on the Selby is Godcast, but now he is still in Cleveland. One can imagine he is on the move soon, and, if so, a demotion falls on the heels of Estevan Florial’s DFA, Kyle Manzardo’s return to Triple-A, and Gabriel Arias’s long-awaited demotion.
