Should the Guardians Hold Onto Stephen Kwan?
from The Ken Carman Show with Anthony Lima
With Stephen Kwan batting just .220 and his trade value at an all-time low, Ken makes the case that dealing him at the deadline makes no sense right now and that keeping a veteran who can still contribute defensively is more valuable than whatever return Cleveland would get. The guys also check in on Joey Cantillo, who has given up 15 earned runs in his last three starts, though Ken insists one rough stretch isn't reason to panic on a pitching staff this organization has always been patient with. The bigger storyline might actually be Bryan Bazzana, who is quietly forcing his way into All-Star conversation and giving the Guardians a legitimate top-of-the-order presence they didn't have before.
