Don’t be surprised if Emmanuel Clase becomes the blockbuster name at this year’s trade deadline.

Cleveland’s in that weird spot: close enough to think about the Wild Card… but smart enough to know a power arm like Clase could bring back a serious haul. I broke it down on AppleTV+ Friday Night Baseball and it’s wild how many teams would give up some nice prospectsfor this guy.

-100+ mph cutter
-Team-friendly contract
-Legit closer stuff

Let’s be real, if Cleveland moves him, it’s gonna shake up the playoff picture fast.

Which team should make the call?
