"The Best Deal Is the One You Don't Make Award: The Cleveland Guardians hold Steven Kwan." Passan handed out awards from the 2025 MLB trade deadline, and the Guardians' decision to keep Kwan earned an award from Passan.

The asking price was too high for contenders who turned to other outfielders, keeping the Steven Kwan in Cleveland despite the team trading away Shane Bieber and Paul Sewald.

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.
