Recently, MLB.com ran a story listing possible non-tender candidates around the league. The name that got all the attention was Jackie Bradley, Jr. centerfielder for the Boston Red Sox. While I consider it highly unlikely that Bradley is ultimately non-tendered, there was a name on that list I believe the Kansas City Royals should keep a close watch on. And that is the name of Yankee’s first baseman Greg Bird.
Greg Bird has, thus far, found it impossible to stay healthy since his rookie debut in 2015. He made it through a grand total of 10 games this season.
