## Resource

A former Silver Slugger and 26-home run hitter is on the move after being released by the Royals, despite a decade of MLB experience — his recent Triple-A stats were underwhelming, but past power numbers and a career-best OPS in 2022 hint at untapped potential. Injuries have plagued him, limiting full seasons, and with the minor league season ending, any new team would face a postseason eligibility hurdle. Baseball’s ever-changing landscape leaves even seasoned veterans vulnerable — and hungry for their next shot. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
