The Los Angeles Dodgers reportedly spent most of Thursday heavily pursuing All-Star outfielder Steven Kwan from the Cleveland Guardians.
The Dodgers wanted to add another impact bat to their lineup that could replace left fielder Michael Conforto. But instead of acquiring another outfielder, they gave up James Outman for Minnesota Twins reliever Brock Stewart.
Simply put, the Guardians’ asking price for Kwan was too high for the Dodgers. It has not been reported what Cleveland wanted from Los Angeles, but they asked the San Diego Padres for their No. 1 overall prospect Leo De Vries.
