## Resource

Justin Lada of Locked On Guardians joins Ken and Anthony to argue against trading a hot-hitting Steven Kwan, noting there's no real replacement and the return wouldn't be worth it with Jose Ramirez and Angel Martinez set to return. He explains the offense has grown passive and pressed at the plate, and identifies bullpen help as the deadline priority, pointing to internal options like Yoramon Gomez as potential converts if a trade market doesn't materialize. Lada also weighs in on Francisco Lindor speculation, saying he'd welcome a reunion if money weren't an issue, and calls for an upgrade over Rhys Hoskins given Ty France's stronger production elsewhere. He closes by praising Brayan Rocchio's improved contact and confidence, though he's skeptical the hot stretch fully sustains.
