At the start of this week, Guardians left fielder Steven Kwan wasn’t viewed as a likely trade candidate. But as the Trade Deadline draws ever closer (Thursday, 6 p.m. ET), that may be starting to change.

In a recent piece from Jeff Passan of ESPN, Passan predicted the Guardians and Chicago Cubs would swing a deal involving a player who'd be an exciting trade target. That player is former Cy Young starter Shane Bieber.

The Guardians are fielding big interest in All-Star LF Steven Kwan. The Dodgers, previously linked to Harrison Bader, are now believed in on Kwan. The Mets could be a fit for Kwan, too, assuming they believe he can play CF or they can move Brandon Nimmo back there.

AKRON, Ohio (WKBN) — Cleveland Guardians pitcher Shane Bieber made a successful rehab appearance at Double-A Akron on Tuesday afternoon against Erie. He tossed four innings in his second rehab appearance, allowing one earned run on three hits, with a total of seven strikeouts for the RubberDucks.

The Cleveland Guardians are reportedly "fielding big interest" in All-Star outfielder Steven Kwan ahead of Thursday's MLB trade deadline, according to Jon Heyman of the New York Post.

The Major League Baseball trade deadline is less than three full days away, and the Toronto Blue Jays hold a 63-44 record, which is suitable for the best record in the American League. Toronto will be buying at this week's deadline, and the team could use another outfielder.

Anxiety over a potential trade could be affecting the Guardians' first baseman, who manager Stephen Vogt believes is pressing at the plate.
