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.

The San Diego Padres have been linked to Cleveland Guardian All-Star Steven Kwan ahead of the MLB Trade Deadline.
