The trade deadline has come and gone and the Cleveland Guardians' roster looks very similar to how it did earlier this week. Sure, Shane Bieber has gone north of the border and Paul Sewald is no longer lurking on the injured list, but the bones of the 2025 Guardians have stayed the same.
Although that’s largely a good thing since it means that Steven Kwan hasn’t gone anywhere, it also means that the Guardians have the same holes on their roster that they’ve had for most of the year.
