The Cleveland Guardians have found plenty of reasons for optimism during their recent surge back into playoff contention. However, few moments have been as surprising as Steven Kwan’s power display against the Baltimore Orioles.

The Guardians looked like they might be sellers after a 10-game skid but an 11-2 stretch has them back into the Wild Card race. So are they a buyer?

Kwan is the ideal table-setter in front of big boppers like Kyle Schwarber, Trea Turner and Bryce Harper, and his defense would allow Philly to really clamp down late in games with Marsh and Johan Rojas. Luis Robert Jr. might be the flashier name, but Kwan has been the better player for a while now, and he checks a ton of boxes for Dave Dombrowski.

Steven Kwan came through with the go-ahead RBI single in the eighth, and the Guardians beat the Orioles to earn win No. 11 in their last 13 games.

Steven Kwan singled home Bo Naylor with two outs in the eighth inning for the go-ahead run, lifting the Cleveland Guardians to a 3-2 victory over the Baltimore Orioles.

Steven Kwan was out of the Guardians’ starting lineup for Friday’s series opener against the A’s and is considered day to day due to a nagging right wrist issue, manager Stephen Vogt said.
