Cleveland Guardians outfielder Steven Kwan is reportedly drawing trade interest from the San Diego Padres and Chicago Cubs following Cleveland's elimination from the ALCS. According to Robert Murray of FanSided, Kwan could become available via trade as he approaches his final year of arbitration, aligning with Cleveland's past pattern of moving players prior to free agency.

The 29-year-old contact hitter, who can enter free agency following the 2027 season, batted .282 with three home runs and 10 stolen bases this year. Both San Diego and Chicago are reportedly viewed as potential suitors aiming to address vacancies across their respective outfields.
