The Los Angeles Dodgers won the World Series at the beginning of the month. Since then, 13 MLB players have been on the move. Let’s take a look at three outfielders who have either been traded or signed as a free agent.
Kameron Misner
The Tampa Bay Rays have traded Kameron Misner of Poplar Bluff, Missouri to the Kansas City Royals for either cash considerations or a player to be named later. Misner played the last two seasons with the Rays. In 2025, he had five home runs and 22 runs batted in. During 71 games, Misner scored 27 runs and had 42 hits, nine doubles, one triple, eight stolen bases, 68 total bases, one sacrifice bunt, two sacrifice flies, an on base percentage of .273, and a slugging percentage of .345.
Leody Taveras
The Baltimore Orioles have signed Leody Taveras of Tenares, Dominican Republic to a one year deal worth $2 million. The Orioles are Taveras’s third MLB franchise after six seasons with the Orioles and one season with the Seattle Mariners. Last season in Texas and Seattle, Taveras batted .205 with three home runs and 17 runs batted in. During 58 games, Taveras scored 13 runs and had 35 hits, six doubles, one triple, nine stolen bases, five walks, 52 total bases, three sacrifice bunts, one sacrifice fly, an on base percentage of .226, and a slugging percentage of .304.
