MLB Trade Deadline: Guardians get Foster from Nationals, Lowe from Reds
Cleveland added a first-time All-Star starter and a power bat as it tries to strengthen its lineup and rotation for a playoff push.
- On Monday, August 3, 2026, the Cleveland Guardians acquired left-handed pitcher Foster Griffin from the Washington Nationals and first baseman Nathaniel Lowe from the Cincinnati Reds minutes before the 6 p.m. trade deadline.
- Struggling offensively with a.231 batting average and 109 home runs ranked 27th in the majors, the 57-56 Guardians held a one-game lead for the American League's final wild-card spot entering Monday.
- Griffin, a 31-year-old All-Star, arrives with a 12-3 record and 3.06 ERA, while Lowe joins hitting.266 with 12 home runs and 37 RBIs this season as a former Gold Glover and World Series champion.
- Cleveland sent prospects Will Dion, Josh Hartle, and Alejandro Rivera to Washington and Cincinnati in the two deals, while also acquiring outfielder Jo Adell from the Los Angeles Angels earlier Monday.
- The acquisitions support the Guardians' pursuit of a third consecutive American League Central title, though they remain three games behind the first-place Chicago White Sox in the division race.
