As the calendar speeds toward the trade deadline, a few things are bouncing around the Guardians echo chamber with more urgency than others. One of those things is the glut of middle infield prospects Cleveland has on the 40-man roster, and another is that Amed Rosario is one of the likeliest Guardians to be traded. These are two related notions, clearly, as Rosario has started 88 of the team’s 95 games at shortstop; thus, in order to make room for these prospects, Amed has to go.
This is a syllogism.
Just because Rosario is currently occupying the role of starting shortstop does not mean that the team is eager to move on from him to make room for prospects, no matter how promising.
