Knowing what we know now, which teams should have done more, less -- or exactly the same?
I was fairly hard on the Guardians at the deadline. But I'm in a more forgiving frame of mind at this point. Cleveland does have quality pitching and defense and was certainly very much in the mix for first place in the AL Central at the beginning of the month. The offense has been punchless all season and that has not changed. My softening has to do with two emergent realities.
And, yes, the offense very much could have used a couple of legit power bats. But they were not there to be had at the deadline. The Guardians landed quality prospects in Kyle Manzardo and Kahlil Watson, so it's not like they came away with nothing. I might feel differently if the Twins hadn't opened the gap in the Central, but they did and that makes Cleveland's decision-making at the deadline look that much more sound.
