1. On today’s show, we begin by sharing the news of Andrés Giménez and José Ramírez being named finalists for Silver Slugger Awards. However, we believe they will likely lose out to Jose Altuve and Rafael Devers at their respective positions. We also discuss that Steven Kwan and Myles Straw won the Fielding Bible award in LF and CF, respectively, what that means, and why it matters.
2. We asked for listener feedback on what players they want the Cleveland Guardians to target this offseason through trades of free agency. The overwhelming favorite was a trade for Oakland Athletics catcher Sean Murphy. We start that discussion by debating if the Guardians can make it work on their roster with Sean Murphy and Bo Naylor. We explain why David Fry may factor into making that roster fit work for Cleveland.
3. We begin getting into your trade proposals for Sean Murphy. We compiled all the trades you submitted for Sean Murphy and gave them thumbs up or thumbs down, and explained why we thought the trades would or wouldn’t work. We also gave our personal trade proposals for Murphy as well. And we wrap things up by teasing the next players we will discuss on your trade/free agency wish list for the Cleveland Guardians this offseason.
