The 2025 MLB trade deadline passed at 6 p.m. July 31 after a day of high activity all around the league. For the Guardians, it was a deadline of some give-and-take as they positioned themselves for 2025 and beyond.

The Cleveland Guardians reportedly opted not to trade two-time All-Star Steven Kwan at the trade deadline, according to Zack Meisel of The Athletic.

Cleveland Guardians star outfielder Steven Kwan expressed his appreciation for the city and fanbase when the three-time Gold Glove winner returned to the field on Friday. The MLB trade deadline on July 31 passed without Kwan being dealt, despite intense interest from multiple contending teams.
