Summary
Matt Dery joins Ken and Anthony to push back on the running bit that Angel Martinez and Jose Ramirez returning count as the Guardians' trade deadline moves, arguing the team genuinely needs another bat given Kyle Manzardo and Rhys Hoskins' inconsistency at first base and Gabriel Arias' shaky production. He credits the club for staying at 54-50 despite losing three of its best hitters for stretches, but calls Wednesday's 0-for-17 with runners in scoring position performance a symbol of a season full of near-misses, including the sloppy loss that wasted Gavin Williams' gem. Dery also notes Steven Kwan looks like himself again at the plate over the last few weeks and floats sending Manzardo down to Columbus to reset.
