4. What do the Guardians really have to lose?

Even if Suzuki signs a five-year deal and doesn’t become an absolute force in the majors – even if he becomes a serviceable bat in the lineup and dependable in the outfield… what’s the problem here? That might be an oversimplification, but he’s young, talented, and fills a variety of glaring deficiencies on the Guardians.

It’s just all too clear that this is a move Cleveland should make.
