Cubs linked to trade for Guardians' Steven Kwan amid roster uncertainty

The Chicago Cubs are considering a trade for Cleveland Guardians outfielder Steven Kwan as they face significant roster changes this offseason. Following a disappointing end to the 2026 season, the Cubs are looking to fill outfield spots as key players like Seiya Suzuki and Ian Happ enter free agency. Bleacher Report proposes a trade involving Kwan in exchange for prospects Jaxon Wiggins and James Tiantos. While Kwan is a Gold Glove defender, concerns arise over his limited offensive impact, making the potential move questionable. The Cubs may be better served exploring free-agent options to secure a long-term solution for their outfield needs.
