In 2018 and 2019, with the Phillies and Marlins, Alfaro slugged 28 home runs, drove in 94 runs, and batted .262 across more than 800 plate appearances. However, since hitting 18 home runs in 2019, Alfaro has struggled to find consistent playing time and a home as he has played for five different teams in the last five years. Last season, he had just 39 at bats with the Nationals and batted .256 with three RBI. Alfaro projects as an organizational depth piece at catcher, but could be called upon for some time in Kansas City at some point.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #878787; position: relative;\"><small>Category:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fantasypros.com\/mlb\/transactions.php\">Transactions<\/a><\/small> |<br \/>\n<small>More <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fantasypros.com\/mlb\/players\/jorge-alfaro.php\">Jorge Alfaro<\/a>: <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fantasypros.com\/mlb\/news\/jorge-alfaro.php\">News<\/a>, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fantasypros.com\/mlb\/players\/jorge-alfaro.php\">Rankings<\/a><span class=\"hidden-phone\">, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fantasypros.com\/mlb\/projections\/jorge-alfaro.php\">Projections<\/a><\/span>, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fantasypros.com\/mlb\/stats\/jorge-alfaro.php\">Stats<\/a><\/small><span class=\"pull-right fp-vote-container\" data-itemid=\"n-564034\"\/><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<hr style=\"margin-bottom: 16px;\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><script>(function(d, s, id) {\n      var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];\n      if (d.getElementById(id)) return;\n      js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;\n      js.src = \"\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/all.js#xfbml=1\";\n      fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);\n    }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));<\/script><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.fantasypros.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by David Leisering | Mon, Jan 5th 4:32pm EST Jorge Alfaro has signed a minor league deal with the Kansas City Royals.
