Royals Cut Ties with Hunter Dozier, Activate Lopez from IL.

The Kansas City Royals have designated veteran infielder Hunter Dozier for assignment, freeing up a roster spot for the return of Nicky Lopez from injury. Dozier's performance has declined since his best season in 2019, and his contract extension has not lived up to expectations. The Royals are focusing on evaluating their young talent and Dozier's playing time was decreasing. He will go through waivers, and if unclaimed, the Royals will be responsible for the remaining $16.75 million on his contract.

Royals DFA Hunter Dozier, Reactivate Lopez from IL

The Kansas City Royals have designated infielder Hunter Dozier for assignment, replacing him with Nicky Lopez. Dozier, who is in the third season of a four-year contract worth $25 million, has struggled since signing the deal, batting just .222/.286/.384 with a 27.2% strikeout rate in 1134 plate appearances. The Royals will have a week to trade, waive, or release Dozier, who could reject an outright assignment and elect free agency while still retaining the remainder of his salary.

Royals and Hunter Dozier to part ways.

The Kansas City Royals should release Hunter Dozier, who has been one of the worst players in baseball for the past two seasons and has continued to struggle in 2022. The Royals were hoping to showcase Dozier's potential trade value during Spring Training, but he has failed to deliver. Keeping him on the roster sends the wrong message to fans and taxpayers who could fund a new ballpark. The Royals should make the correct baseball move and release Dozier sooner rather than later.
