The Cleveland Guardians need to seek game-changing roster upgrades as MLB offseason gets moving. Could Lars Nootbaar or Ketel Marte be the surprise additions that improve the lineup? Could the Guardians get creative to solve their offensive problems and shore up their bullpen, with the Cardinals, Rockies, Braves, Astros, Brewers, and Diamondbacks all emerging as intriguing trade partners?

Justin Lada analyzes how Brendan Donovan and JoJo Romero fit Cleveland’s needs, why Rockies reliever Jimmy Herget could be a hidden gem, and whether Gavin Williams should headline a Marte package. The show also covers Justin's lessons learned from previous prospect rankings and biggest misses, as well as how the league is gearing up for next year's CBA negotiations with the Yankees crying poor.
