He managed a 1.200 OPS in AAA after being acquired by KC; 1.044 on the season. He had a .931 OPS in AAA in 2021 and .933 OPS in 2019 in AAA (no minor league season in 2020).

I mean the guy has a prolonged track record of drawing walks and hitting with power in the high minors. I can't say that is sufficient to override 29 big league PAs with KC last year.

If he were out of options and you had to designate him to get him down to AAA, okay - I can understand that one. But the guy had options left - all you needed to do was send him down if he couldn't have earned his way onto the team out of camp.

I just don't understand why you DFA him in November.
