Guardians Face Challenges As Trade Deadline Approaches

The Guardians are dealing with injuries and roster issues that make major trades unlikely.
There is uncertainty around ace Shane Bieber's return from injury this season.
The team is focused on improving their lineup over multiple seasons rather than short-term fixes.
The Guardians are considering trades for an outfield bat and shortstop help.
With division rivals active at the deadline, the path forward is unclear for Cleveland.
