Cleveland Guardians Acquire Alex Cobb and Lane Thomas

News summary

The Cleveland Guardians are making aggressive moves as they approach the MLB trade deadline, acquiring right-handed pitcher Alex Cobb from the San Francisco Giants and outfielder Lane Thomas from the Washington Nationals. Cobb, a former All-Star who is recovering from hip surgery, is expected to bolster the Guardians' pitching staff as they aim for their first World Series appearance since 2016. Meanwhile, Thomas joins the Guardians after a breakout 2023 season and is set to fill a crucial role in the outfield, addressing the team's need for depth in that position. In exchange for Thomas, Cleveland has sent pitching prospect Alex Clemmey, along with two other prospects, to Washington. The Guardians currently lead the American League with a record of 64-42, reflecting their commitment to enhancing their roster for a playoff run. Both acquisitions signal Cleveland's intent to compete at a high level as the postseason approaches.
