The Cleveland Guardians are considering trading starting pitcher Aaron Civale as the MLB trade deadline approaches. Civale's value is high due to his impressive performance this season and his two and a half years of team control.

The decision to trade Civale depends on the offers they receive from other teams and their ability to find a suitable replacement.
