Alec Burleson did some interesting things at the plate during the 2025 season. He improved his wRC+ from 106 to 124 while rewarding the Cardinals front office for their continued faith in him. It wasn’t all smooth sailing for Burly. After a rough start to the 2025 season, things came to a head when Oli Marmol called him to his office for a fictitious meeting on the morning of May 3rd.
Marmol: Hey Alec, thanks for coming in. Can I get you a drink or something to eat?
Burleson: No, thanks coach, me and the boys just got some barbeque and I am stuffed.
