CLEVELAND, Ohio — Despite rumors of his departure and interest from several playoff contenders, the trade deadline passed with two-time All-Star left fielder, Steven Kwan, still a Guardian.

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.
