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 Los Angeles Dodgers find themselves sitting comfortably with a four-game lead at the top of the NL West. While their offense is scuffling and failing to score runs at the moment, Los Angeles’ starting rotation is finally getting healthy.

The Cleveland Guardians reportedly opted not to trade two-time All-Star Steven Kwan at the trade deadline, according to Zack Meisel of The Athletic.
