## Resource

The Guardians are racing to stay alive in the AL Central, and Lane Thomas could be the perfect, affordable upgrade. A right-handed bat with playoff experience and a proven track record against lefties, he’s hitting .270 with 9 homers and 36 RBIs this season. The Royals, looking to sell, won’t demand much — likely just a low-level prospect. It’s the kind of smart, targeted move the Guardians excel at: filling holes without overextending. Thomas might not dazzle, but he could be the exact spark they need to keep pace this summer. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
