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."

According to The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal, the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Toronto Blue Jays have attempted to trade for outfielder Steven Kwan. With the Guardians sitting at 54-54, the 27-year-old is coveted by the two postseason-bound teams.

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.
