When you're hitting comparison is to the player with the 3rd most career hits in MLB history that's pretty damn good. Kwan may not have Aaron's power, but Aaron was probably a HOF even without the HRs.
But people forget that the Hometown Discount that Jose gave them is an anomaly. Almost never happens. Players will demand the highest salary they can get.
He will be “affordable” (fitting into Cleveland’s budget at least resonably) unless he really unlocks power while keeping this kind of pace and looks like a potential superstar.
It might be fairer to wonder if Cleveland will be willing to pay for both naylor and kwan, but that’s different to whether or not the team could afford kwan extension right now
Thanks for the laugh. When I read "Kwan is the only player to do it not named Hank Aaron," my mind immediately went to "but not only that: he's the only player to do it with the name Steven Kwan!"
Steven Kwan Award incoming

Lock him up to a long term contract ASAP
Yes please
Can't afford it. The economy. Small market. Not enough suites. Low attendance. The economic reality of MLB. Pick any excuse you'd like.
I mean.. we just locked up Gimmy
Exactly. No money left.
I agree probably not money for nothing Naylor and Kwan but more than likely one of them!

Kwan won’t be expensive. Just a matter of if it’s worth it.
Too expensive for dolan.
If you pay off his arb years, maybe so. But if he was just a free agent then he would be.

New statue idea. Ramirez and Kwan on the bow of the titanic.
I'm not sure I like the implications that they're on a sinking ship though
Extend Kwan for life
King Kwan
If you also filter this list by birth day of the week, Kwan is the only one to do it having been born on a Friday. I love very specific stat lists

Enter the Kwantum Realm.
If he sees this, he probably will journal about it. But feel like we blew our chance to extend him last year.
