6Three outfielders, at least two would not make Cleveland's 40 man roster and another middle infielder for a system overflowing with middle infielders. Nothing here to motivate the Guardians.
Cleveland would offer you either Rosario or Plesac for this return and even then they may not actually offer either... This is a horrible deal for Cleveland...
Cleveland is not a dumping ground for Philly's garbage. We'll give you Quantrill for Bohm and a prospect.
You have a 3b. Your outfield is comprised of guys battling to stay above the Mendoza line. You have a surplus of pitchers and pitching prospects. Meanwhile, Cave and Muzziotti are hitting very, very well. Muzziotti is a very good CF, and Cave is solid at either corner.That means help for this season. De La Cruz is a very good defender with pop who is doing well in AA. He is also solid at 1b, a place that looks like a black hole on the Guardian roster. And Lee is recognized as a comer who is likely to be a real contributor in the majors. Quantrill is an excellent mid-rotation guy, but he is not Shane Bieber.
Russ, Cave is a 30 year old journeyman 4-5th outfielder. Hitting in AAA is not the same as MLB. Cave is at AAA at 30 years old since he never has hit in MLB. Both Cave and Muzziotti are left handed hitters which don't fill a need for the Guardians. Muzziotti projects to be a 4th outfielder as well. Wow, what an exciting return!

Two of the three are already better bats than the Guardians have in the dugout, and the third is showing up ads a better prospect than the Guardians have in the minors. If you keep over estimating the team's offense, you'll never make the postseason.
