Kwan, who turns 28 in September, entered Tuesday batting .287 with nine home runs, 37 RBIs, and 20 doubles for the inconsistent Guardians. The three-time All-Star has already posted 3.3 bWAR, and his 8.4 strikeout rate is fourth-best among qualified hitters.

The New York Yankees and Baltimore Orioles could come together on a trade that would give the Yankees the starting pitching help they need.

Former New York Yankees infielder DJ LeMahieu played a role in the team's recent choice to trade for third baseman Ryan McMahon.

The Royals reached a two-year, $46 million guaranteed contract extension with Lugo on Sunday, according to multiple reports. While Lugo was widely considered one of the top trade candidates ahead of Thursday's trade deadline, he'll instead be in Kansas City for years to come.

Major League Baseball's trade deadline is scheduled for next Thursday, which means teams have less than a week to get their midsummer shopping done. The moves have already started, as the Mariners recently acquired Josh Naylor from the Diamondbacks while the Yankees acquired Ryan McMahon in a trade with the Rockies.

The Yankees moved on from DJ LeMahieu but the veteran infielder isn't done with baseball as he has a plan for joining a new club.
