Cleveland is not moving Fry at a negative value... Also Cleveland also wants a solid near ready MLB SP prospect with Dominguez...

You either accept BTV's valuations or you don't. If you do, then the Guardians don't get a near major league ready pitching prospect in addition to Dominguez. They can get the pitcher if they are willing to accept Jones instead of Dominguez. I wouldn't make including Fry a dealbreaker, but I would still try to get him.
Jones is a no period since his SO is so bad plus they just drafted LaViolette, who isn't far off from a Jones mold... Cleveland also DOES NOT have to trade Kwan at all, so the Cleveland's FO, who is notorious for going pay this price or no deal won't trade Kwan especially to the Yankees without getting exactly what they want... This deal doesn't do that, plus they literally don't have Fry avaliable unless it's a major overpay...
I build proposals based on BTV’s valuations. Yes, obviously the Guardians can reject this offer. I am personally more than happy to overpay for Kwan, so if adding someone like Chase Hampton to Jasson Dominguez gets me Steven Kwan, so be it.
Doubt Hampton would get it done when he is coming off of Tommy John... Cleveland going to be super bullish on Kwan, especially with an AL team...
https://www.baseballtradevalues.com/trades/208707 Is Jasson Dominguez and Bryce Cunningham going to get a deal done? If not, tell me who you think the Yankees should have to give up to get Steven Kwan. I think that Dominguez plus a starting pitching prospect not named Gil, Schlittler, or Warren should be enough. However, if you are going to demand anyone more valuable than Cunningham, the Guardians should be willing to throw Fry into the deal, especially considering his current negative/neutral surplus value.
