## Resource

Cleveland’s Guardians are clinging to a division lead despite an offensive collapse—ranking near the bottom in batting, runs, and homers. Key players like Jose Ramirez and Chase DeLauter (now back) have been sidelined, but with Angel Martinez returning soon, the team’s young core has kept them afloat. Still, with the All-Star break looming and the AL wide open, Cleveland’s biggest need is firepower—especially a right-handed bat—to unlock their playoff potential. With the trade deadline fast approaching and potential lockout looming, the Guardians must act fast to add offense or risk fading into the postseason shadows.
