Question for you, do you think this trade makes the guardians better for now or was this trade more so made to help the team starting 2024 and on
Cuz it seems more like “let’s figure out who can actually play SS for the future” more so than it’s “we are trying to win the division this season”

Rosario is the worst defensive SS in baseball and has a .675 OPS. It's addition by subtraction where they took back a guy who might be able to throw a few MLB innings while they have four SP on the 60 day rather than acquiring a lottery ticket minor leaguer.
Think of the scene in Moneyball where Beane traded Carlos Pena, simply so they couldn't play him anymore.
