The Guardians acquired reliever Carter Rustad from the Orioles in exchange for Johnathan Rodriguez. Rustad, 24, posted a 3.23 ERA in Double-A last season with notable strikeout and walk rates. His fastball sits at 94-96 mph, complemented by a strong sinker and developing slider and changeup. This trade provides the Guardians an opportunity to refine Rustad’s skills, potentially enhancing his control for a future role in a major league bullpen.
