According to Bob Nightengale of USA Today, the Guardians were close to trading Steven Kwan to the Los Angeles Dodgers at the trade deadline. They were so close that a general manager said, "Everyone in baseball thought (the Dodgers) were getting Kwan."

The San Diego Padres have been linked to Cleveland Guardian All-Star Steven Kwan ahead of the MLB Trade Deadline.

Steven Kwan is trying to block out the dizzying amount of trade rumors and possibilities. He also discussed his contract situation.
