Emmanuel Clase will be sidelined for at least a month, along with Luis Ortiz. Does that change how the Guardians approach the MLB trade deadline?

In a recent piece from Jeff Passan of ESPN, Passan predicted the Guardians and Chicago Cubs would swing a deal involving a player who'd be an exciting trade target. That player is former Cy Young starter Shane Bieber.

Cleveland Guardians executive Chris Antonetti has delivered a significant update on the team's stance heading into the MLB trade deadline.

Any legitimate chance the Guardians had at contending this season walked out the door with Clase. Shane Bieber and Steven Kwan could follow.

Amid a betting investigation that put closer Emmanuel Clase on paid leave, the Cleveland Guardians reportedly could use two other players as leverage on the trade market ahead of the deadline.

Emmanuel Clase's team-friendly contract made him Cleveland's most valuable trade chip, but MLB's investigation has left the front office scrambling with limited options.

The Cleveland Guardians' plans for a postseason push were dealt a major blow with the revelation that closer Emmanuel Clase will be sidelined until at least August 31 due to a gambling investigation.

MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand recently chose his top trade asset for each team, and named Cleveland’s best piece as Steven Kwan. “Kwan is under club control for two more years, so while the Guardians don’t have to move him, he may be their best asset to bring back a solid package of young talent,” wrote Feinsand.

The Cleveland Guardians have seen a few of their best players' names thrown in trade rumors, but it seems they've already made their decision.

Anxiety over a potential trade could be affecting the Guardians' first baseman, who manager Stephen Vogt believes is pressing at the plate.

The Major League Baseball trade deadline is less than three full days away, and the Toronto Blue Jays hold a 63-44 record, which is suitable for the best record in the American League. Toronto will be buying at this week's deadline, and the team could use another outfielder.

The Philadelphia Phillies might have been close to landing Emmanuel Clase prior to his placement on non-disciplinary leave.
