The MLB trade deadline is less than 48 hours away and it looks like the Toronto Blue Jays are closing in on Cleveland Guardians LF Steven Kwan.
The
Blue Jays seem to be focused on bringing in pitchers over the next two days but have also been linked to multiple outfielders than can help them in terms of offense.
Blue Jays looking to bring in Steven Kwan in trade with the Guardians
Toronto has a lot of outfielders on their current roster but they still are looking to add since they have a ton of injuries and could use an additional solid hitter to their lineup.
According to reports, the Blue Jays are in talks with the Cleveland Guardians over left fielder all-star Steven Kwan who will likely be traded over the next day or so.
The #BlueJays are «believed to be among teams in the mix» for Steven Kwan, per Ken Rosenthal
Thoughts?
While the Blue Jays and Ross Atkins seem very interested in
Kwan, they are apparently not the only team interested as the Los Angeles Dodgers, Philadelphia Phillies and San Diego Padres are also in the mix.
Steven Kwan is drawing a ton of interest, though the Guardians intend to set a high bar for the return package in a trade, per
@Ken_Rosenthal
.
The Dodgers, Blue Jays, Phillies, and Padres are believed to be among the teams in the mix.
The main concern when it comes to landing Kwan is that the Blue Jays will likely have to give quite a few top end prospects in return due to his massive trade value.
No surprise #BlueJays are among the teams reportedly pursuing Steven Kwan. He'd be a perfect fit in several ways.
Price will likely be astronomical, though, so we shall see...
Regardless of the price, this trade could be perfect for the Blue Jays who are looking to add offense and Kwan currently has 9 homeruns, 37 RBIs, a .287 batting average and .351 on base percentage in 100 games this season.
