The Royals have released infielder/outfielder Nick Gordon, who was with their Triple-A affiliate in Omaha, allowing him to seek opportunities with other teams. Gordon, 29, has played for both the Orioles and Royals in 2025, posting a .270/.333/.333 batting line in 20 games. Originally a shortstop selected fifth overall by the Twins in 2014, he has struggled to meet expectations, with a career MLB batting line of .243/.283/.386, and has transitioned to various positions, primarily playing outfield in recent seasons.
