Cleveland and Cincinnati claimed five veteran players off the waiver wire. How do these additions impact the stretch run?
This out-of-nowhere practice of setting useful players afloat to save a few bucksbecause, from a competitive standpoint, it stinks all around. Who wants a playoff race decided like that? These concerns ought to be only tangentially of interest regarding the Guardians, whose postseason shot still lies on the wrong side of 10% even after this one-sided deal. That doesn't mean it wasn't worth doing.
Finally, even if the Guardians don't turn the pickups into a playoff slot, the players' presence will make it easier for Cleveland to manage the workloads of its very young starting staff down the stretch. That, by itself, makes this worth doing. Giolito, if he can put the bad dream of Orange County behind him, can soak up rotation innings -- and indirectly, Lopez and Moore can do the same by deepening the bullpen.
