Steven Kwan reacts to Guardians trading fellow multiple-time Gold Glover Andres Gimenez to Blue Jays
Since Cleveland Guardians star left fielder Steven Kwan debuted in 2022, he has won the Gold Glove every year. Similarly, teammate Andres Gimenez has won the Gold Glove at second base during the same period. The emphasis on defense has made the low-budget Guardians a formidable squad that consistently challenges for postseason spots.
In a recent update on Instagram, Kwan made his feelings known as fellow multiple-time Gold Glover Gimenez was shipped to the Toronto Blue Jays alongside Nick Sandlin for Spencer Horwitz and Nick Mitchell.
Steven Kwan inserted a sad emoji as he shared a photo of Gimenez's official move to the Toronto Blue Jays. However, Guardians fans should not fret as the team still has Kwan, Jose Ramirez, Emmanuel Clase and the returning Shane Bieber in its ranks.
The Guardians finished with 92 wins last season as they claimed the American League Central crown. They made an unprecedented run to the ALCS before being knocked out by the juggernaut New York Yankees in five games.
As for Gimenez, he will now feature alongside All-Stars Bo Bichette and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. in Toronto's star-studded infield. The team is hoping to restore previous postseason success amid competition from the stacked American League East. The Blue Jays finished with a 74-88 record last season, dead last in the AL East.
Interestingly, Horwitz was immediately traded to the Pittsburgh Pirates with Luis Ortiz, Michael Kennedy and Josh Hartle moving to Cleveland. Ortiz was serviceable in his 15 starts for Pittsburgh last season. He tallied a 7-6 record with two saves while posting a 3.32 ERA across 135 and 2/3 innings.
