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.

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.

Steven Kwan had a baseball camp today. We bought Liam a ticket for Christmas. He’s been looking forward to it for months. It poured and we couldn’t play, so Kwan met w/each camper and took individual photos on maybe the most stressful day of his career. It meant a lot to the kids pic.twitter.com/FIAh1wIRfK
