The Cleveland Guardians haven’t gotten the production it has needed from the lineup in 2025 to be consistently competitive, which is a big reason why the team has been hovering around .500 for weeks.

The asking price was too high for contenders who turned to other outfielders, keeping the Steven Kwan in Cleveland despite the team trading away Shane Bieber and Paul Sewald.

Steven Kwan is happy to remain with the Cleveland Guardians after the trade deadline. Kwan expressed relief and excitement about staying with the team, emphasizing the team's potential for a playoff run.
