To plug the pitching gap, they acquired lefty David Peterson from the Mets, making room by sending reliever Yosver Zulueta packing. Despite this, the bullpen still needs help, and a trade deadline move is likely. Fans across the league agree: starting pitching is the biggest need. Meanwhile, the Guardians keep winning despite imperfections, and there’s buzz about reverting to a swing-based system to reduce player fatigue. Personally, I’ve seen some jaw-dropping feats live—no-hitters, cycles—but I’m still waiting for a four-homer game, a rare spectacle that’s only happened 21 times in MLB history.
