Phillies Trade Idea Pairs Bryce Harper With 2-Time All-Star Outfielder - Athlon Sports

Steven Kwan is having an impressive season with the Cleveland Guardians, showcasing his skills as a reliable corner outfielder. Currently batting .298 with six home runs and a .776 OPS, Kwan earned his second consecutive All-Star selection, joining the ranks of former Guardian Cliff Lee who made headlines as a pitcher for the Philadelphia Phillies. As the Guardians struggle, rumored trades are swirling around Kwan, raising questions about whether the Phillies should pursue him to bolster their outfield.

With their current lead in the NL East, acquiring Kwan could crucially enhance Philadelphia's lineup, pairing him with established stars like Bryce Harper and Trea Turner. Should the Guardians opt to sell, Kwan’s strong on-base percentage and proven defensive skills make him a valuable asset for any contender. The Phillies might need to offer significant prospects, though, as Kwan is under contract until 2027, a decision that could impact their future roster.
