Following trade deadline activity that saw the Cleveland Guardians acquire players such as Jo Adell and Foster Griffin to bolster their postseason contention, the organization has shifted its focus toward offseason planning.

Executive Chris Antonetti has indicated that the team intends to seek upgrades for both the starting rotation and the bullpen. While elite free agents may be out of reach, the team is monitoring mid-market pitching options. Additionally, the organization is evaluating its lineup, specifically weighing the re-signing of veteran first baseman Nathaniel Lowe against the development of top prospect Ralphy Velazquez.
