PROSPECT: Bo Naylor, C, Cleveland Guardians
ANALYSIS: While they're still second in the weak American League Central, the Cleveland Guardians are five games under .500 and don't appear to be contenders after winning the division in 2022. With that in mind, they really have no reason not to bring Bo Naylor up in the near future to see what he can do in the starter's role.
Naylor is their catcher of the future and has been performing well this season in Triple-A with a .258/.402/.505 slash line, 12 doubles, and 11 home runs in 53 games.
VERDICT: I'm going to be putting up missing posters on telephone polls to try and find where all of his steals went, but Naylor can still make an impact with his bat and has greater impact potential in OBP formats.
