Guardians Sellers at the Deadline? Ken and Anthony Say Absolutely Not  
Podcast: The Ken Carman Show with Anthony Lima

Description: Amid a brutal four-game skid and a bullpen implosion, chatter has emerged that the Guardians should become sellers before the trade deadline, but Ken and Anthony flatly reject it. They argue there is nobody worth moving since the roster is stocked with cheap, young core pieces like Travis Bazzana, Cooper Ingle, and Angel Martinez who are central to the franchise's future, not trade chips. Anthony points out some of the frustration stems from Cavs fatigue bleeding into how fans view the Guardians, while Ken argues the team still deserves the benefit of the doubt given a weak AL Central and the absence of Jose Ramirez. Rather than a splashy sell off, they suggest smaller moves like adding a reliever or converting a Triple A arm into bullpen depth.
