A seven-team blockbuster trades scenario centers on the Guardians pursuing Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm in a hypothetical deal.
The proposed trade involves six other teams (Red Sox, Rangers, Marlins, Diamondbacks, Twins) in addition to Cleveland and Philadelphia.
Castrovince notes that, realistically, all seven teams would likely reject the deal, highlighting its speculative nature.

Proposed young players Braylon Doughty and Aaron Walton are evaluated as upside pieces, with Doughty showing promise in minors and Walton limited at-bats.
The piece stresses that the scenario serves as an exercise in roster moves rather than a credible forecast.
The article hints at possible fits with players like Sandy Alcantara or Triston Casas as more plausible targets for more balanced trades.
The author notes that the imagined trade would involve moving a second baseman and another role player to accommodate Bohm.
