Snider, 28, was once considered a top prospect. He’s a former first-round draft pick. 14th overall in the 2006 MLB Draft by the Toronto Blue Jays. His career statistics include 435 hits, 212 RBIs, 54 home-runs, and a .244 batting average. The Texas Rangers surprised the world by signing him.
During his time with Toronto (2008-2012), he shifted back and forth between the majors and minors. During the 2012 season, he was traded to the Pittsburgh Pirates where he would remain until 2014. He spent 2015 with the Orioles playing in just 69 games.
Prior to the 2016 season, he signed a minor league deal with the Kansas City Royals with an invitation to Spring Training.
