The Royals announced Monday that they’ve agreed to a new minor league contract with infielder/outfielder Erick Mejia, whom they’d non-tendered earlier in the month.
The 26-year-old Mejia has appeared in 17 games with Kansas City over the past two seasons, batting at a .167/.244/.222 clip in 43 trips to the plate while logging time in center field (46 innings), at third base (26 innings), second base (six innings), left field (six innings) and at shortstop (one inning).
Mejia, originally signed by the Mariners, was traded to the Dodgers in exchange for Joe Wieland in 2016. The Dodgers shipped him to Kansas City in the three-team swap that sent Joakim Soria from the Royals to the White Sox and lefty Scott Alexander from K.C. to L.A., netting the Royals Mejia and righty Trevor Oaks. In parts of three Triple-A seasons, Mejia is a .268/.336/.378 hitter — numbers that fall in line with his career .274/.339/.380 slash across several levels through eight minor league campaigns.

Use to love this site until they started locking down comments sections ie. LaRussa or Indians changing their name. Freedom of speech on the site is now controlled by the editors narrative for that day.
its not a narrative, its a matter of the writers not having to moderate endless unconstructive comments. if you are so bothered by this you can speak with others about it on another forum.
And you’re citing freedom of speech incorrectly to fit YOUR narrative. MLBTR is a private business and has the right to censor comments as they see fit.
Wtf does that have to do with Erick Mejia?
So basically if you’re non tendered by the royals, don’t panic, they’ll bring you back
This is a guy the Orioles should have signed not the other players in the previous post.
