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.

The Phillies are in search of bullpen help, and they could be in the mix for Emmanuel Clase of the Cleveland Guardians, who is one of the best relievers in the game.

The Philadelphia Phillies get bad news from the Cleveland Guardians, as they don't intend to trade closer Emmanuel Clase at the MLB trade deadline.

According to ESPN's Jeff Passan and Kiley McDaniel, in their most recent listing of "MLB's top 50 trade deadline candidates," the Phillies were named as a prime fit for All-Star Cleveland Guardians outfielder Steven Kwan.

A trade deadline upgrade in the outfield could be in the cards for the Phillies, according to ESPN, which ranks Philadelphia as the best fit for Steven Kwan if he's dealt by the Guardians.
