The Guardians opted to retain Steven Kwan despite multiple teams showing interest, while sending former Cy Young winner Shane Bieber to Toronto.

The Shane Bieber era in Cleveland has reportedly come to a close. According to MLB Network's Jon Morosi, the Guardians agreed to trade the ace starting pitcher to the Toronto Blue Jays on Thursday in exchange for 22-year-old pitching prospect Khal Stephen.

Adding the rehabbing Bieber injects the Blue Jays' starting group with proven depth and upside, while the Guardians nab a real prospect.
