Guardians/Diamondbacks Trade

[Guardians GM (Thomas)]

Guardians trade:
Jose Alvarado RP PHI - Arb A 6/7 - $4.9M (75% retained - $3.6M)

Diamondbacks trade:
Joe Barlow RP CHW - 2024 & 2025 - $0.9M
Kevin Made SS WAS - prospect
ARI 9th round pick

Guardians accept.

Alvarado was a great addition for my bullpen a couple years back. He’s a great RP when healthy. He nets me back a 9th and Made, who I really like. I think his floor is Kevin Newman, a glove first middle IF, but I think he’ll be better than that. Barlow is included for money purposes, but if he comes back from the IL, he should be a tradable bullpen piece later in the year.

Thanks for the easy talks, Kyle! Once again, good luck the rest of the way!

[D'backs GM (Kyle)]

Accepted. I’m continuing to try to improve my team and adding a late inning bullpen piece is always a good addition when competing for a playoff spot. Thanks for the easy talks as always Thomas.
