The Guardians have five picks in the first three rounds. They’ll select 27th, 64th (second round), 66th (Competitive Balance Round B), 70th (Competitive Balance Round B) and 101 (third round). The Guardians acquired the 70th pick from Arizona as part of the Josh Naylor trade in December that brought them right-hander Slade Cecconi.

In some ways, it's fair to suggest that the Cleveland Guardians' season is over. It’s unfortunate that things have unfolded the way they have over the past few weeks for the Guardians, but they've been absolutely brutal recently, and that was evident by their 10-game losing streak.

The Guardians, according to sources, have told teams that they are not going to trade their two top relievers — Emmanuel Clase and Cade Smith. Contenders have been calling the Guardians since they dropped to 14 games behind the first-place Tigers in the AL Central and five games out of the last wild card spot.

The Cleveland Guardians have always taken pride in their farm system. They have outstanding scouts and a great development coaching staff. That’s why everybody always keeps an eye on what they do in the MLB Draft.

While other top picks from the 2024 draft are knocking on the door to the majors, Travis Bazzana has been sidelined with an injury.

The Guardians are one year removed from having the No. 1 overall selection. Here are their top 10 draft picks since 2000.

If the Guardians do trade Clase, they better receive a lot in return. Finding pitchers who can consistently close games at a high level for multiple seasons is a major challenge. Then add in Clase’s age (27), durability and contract and he is extremely valuable.
