Guardians in freefall after trade deadline

The Guardians have lost 11 of 14 games, falling to 57-59 and two games under .500 after being swept by the Mets. The offense can't hit with RISP, defense is error-prone, and pitching is inconsistent. Foster Griffin's debut was rough, and the team's aggressive deadline moves have not reversed the slide. A new article argues the new additions cannot save the team. The weekend series vs the White Sox is critical; multiple previews emphasize the must-win nature and fan frustration is high.
