While the Cleveland Guardians had plenty of chances to trade Steven Kwan at this year's trade deadline, they decided not to. And, according to Jeff Passan, it was because of another trade.

Cleveland Guardians star outfielder Steven Kwan expressed his appreciation for the city and fanbase when the three-time Gold Glove winner returned to the field on Friday. The MLB trade deadline on July 31 passed without Kwan being dealt, despite intense interest from multiple contending teams.

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.
