4 hitters the Cleveland Guardians should consider adding before the MLB Trade Deadline

4. Michael Conforto - San Francisco Giants

Currently sitting in a distant fourth place in the National League West, it is quite clear that the current version of the San Francisco Giants are not going anywhere. This could result in a much-needed roster reset for San Francisco, making someone who should be on the radar of the Cleveland Guardians' radar available. Outfielder Michael Conforto.

Now, it must be said that nobody is going to confuse 2024 Conforto with the 2020 version, which seemed on the fast track to superstardom, but that does not mean the Guardians should not be interested. Sure, his current .227/.299/.419 slash line is not particularly impressive, and a lot more power production is expected out of him than his 16 doubles and 10 home runs, but playing in a non-homer-friendly park for left-handers is doing him exactly zero favors. Eight of Conforto's 10 home runs have come on the road, along with nine of his 16 doubles. A change of scenery to somewhere that is not so harsh to left-handed hitters could very well result in his power production increasing rather quickly.

Being able to add another everyday outfielder into their roster mix would allow Cleveland's current timeshare in the outfield to normalize a bit, as there are too many moving pieces in parts currently. Finding a way to get everyone on a normal schedule will benefit all parties involved and help produce desired and repeatable results.
