3 bullpen arms the Guardians could trade to improve their roster

3. Eli Morgan

Of the names listed here, Eli Morgan seems to be the most fitting to hold the "odd man out" title. The Guardians have multiple other arms in their bullpen who have proven to be more consistently reliable and perhaps one of the most important attributes, available.

Morgan has already spent time on the injured list two times this season, both being related to inflammation in his right arm, the first time being his shoulder and the second being his elbow. While the inflammatory issues in his throwing arm could be an indicator of a much larger future problem that could scare off other teams from looking to acquire his services, but until that happens, Morgan should be considered someone who is tradeable.

Like the previously mentioned Nick Sandlin, Morgan has multiple years of team control remaining, having three more arbitration-eligible years before becoming a free agent after the 2027 season. These extra years of control could be intriguing to a team looking to have bullpen stability for multiple years moving forward.

The 28-year-old righty has made 12 appearances for the Guardians this season, allowing three runs on 11 hits and five walks while striking out 10 in 13.2 innings. Morgan has also made 11 appearances for the Columbus Clippers, striking out 13 batters in 13 innings while allowing five runs on 10 hits in Triple-A.
