The Guardians could sell as the trade deadline nears but MLB Network's Chris Young cautions the team against moving its veteran All-Star.

The Guardians are one of the more on-the-fence teams in baseball at the moment, and yet regardless of what happens between now and the July 31 deadline, the most probable scenario is that Cleveland will dip a toe in both the buying and selling directions.

Cleveland Guardians 2025 MLB Trade deadline preview. The Guardians (42-48) have fallen 5.5 games out of a wild card spot, which isn't insurmountable, but they're also looking up at six teams they'd need to overtake for the final playoff spot in the AL.

Count the Cincinnati Reds among the teams to talk with the Arizona Diamondbacks about third baseman Eugenio Suárez, arguably the most sought-after bat on the trade market. Suárez, of course, spent seven seasons with the Reds, meaning that this would be a reunion.

With the trade rumors surrounding Guardians closer Emmanuel Clase, the expectation believes to be that he stays, even with Dodgers interest.

A trade deadline upgrade in the outfield could be in the cards for the Phillies, according to ESPN, which ranks Philadelphia as the best fit for Steven Kwan if he's dealt by the Guardians.

The Cleveland Guardians could make a variety of moves at this year's trade deadline. According to Jeff Passan, they've at least checked on the market for three stars.
