The Cleveland Guardians don’t seem likely to trade Steven Kwan.
In fact, new reporting indicates it’s “doubtful” to happen.
But that hasn’t stopped speculation around baseball about a potential move of the superb contact-hitting left fielder.
And yeah, players hear the noise. Kwan was asked about it at All-Star Weekend.
“You kind of hear rumors of all sorts of different things,” Kwan told MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand. “Our job is to play baseball and do it to the best of our ability.”

Kwan and the Guardians are facing an easy schedule out of the break. How they play in the upcoming stretch could also determine trade deadline plans.
“With that uncertainty, you can kind of let your brain just let it go,” Kwan said. “I think if it was simpler, then you would kind of have a better idea, but because there’s so much unknown with it, we just have to play the game.”
The Guardians have Kwan under club control through 2027. He’d command a lot in a trade, but Cleveland fans would certainly be bummed if such a move ever came to pass.
