From CBS Sports on likely trade candidates (sorry no Zunino nor Rosario). AL Central has 10 out of 20 trade candidates with 6 for WhiteSox
We don't know if the Guardians will consider trading Bieber at the deadline, but we think there's an argument to be made that they should -- and not just because of their poor start to the season, or his looming date with free agency in winter 2024. Not to get too far over our skis, but despite a shiny ERA, he appears to be in decline. His strikeout rate has fallen off a cliff, anchored by a four-seam fastball that has posted the second-worst whiff rate among pitchers with at least 300 thrown. What's more is that he also ranks near the bottom of the league in quality of contact surrendered. Bieber has shown the ability to make adjustments in the past, and we'll acknowledge that he might find a way to course-correct from here. We're not so sure the Guardians can afford to wait to learn the answer if they want to get a real return on him.
Potential fits:
Orioles,
Diamondbacks, Padres
