Cleveland's recent struggles have sparked debate about the potential trades of veterans like Carlos Santana and Lane Thomas as the team assesses its 2025 playoff aspirations.

As things stand, this feels like a team that will have a quiet deadline, or participate in some light shuffling.

SEATTLE — J.P. Crawford hit a grand slam, Emerson Hancock tossed seven scoreless innings and the Seattle Mariners beat the Cleveland Guardians 6-0 on Sunday to complete a sweep.

The Boston Red Sox are not poised to be sellers just yet, but they very well could be when the deadline rolls around. Jarren Duran could be a name to watch if that's the case.

The rivalry has turned into somewhat of a snoozer the past two seasons as the Yankees have made more significant — and more effective — moves.

The Cleveland Guardians have activated catcher Austin Hedges from the 7-day injured list. He was activated prior to Friday night’s game against the Seattle Mariners.

The Cleveland Guardians are predicted to cut Nolan Jones in favor of trading for Boston Red Sox All-Star Jarren Duran.

In an ideal world, the Red Sox won't send Duran to an American League team, given he'd come with three additional years of club control after this one, but a team like the Cleveland Guardians is unlikely to keep Duran along long-term, needs outfield help, and has intriguing assets to offer.
