Drury will compete for a roster spot this spring with the Royals after hitting a miserable .169\/.242\/.228 with a .469 OPS, four home runs, 15 RBI, 28 runs scored, 27 walks, and 81 strikeouts in 97 games (360 plate appearances) with the Los Angeles Angels in 2024. He didn&#8217;t appear at all in the big leagues in 2025. In 53 games in the minors with the Angels and Chicago White Sox last year, he hit .214\/.338\/.323. The 10-year veteran has a career .245\/.297\/.421 slash line with a .717 OPS, and 109 home runs with seven different teams. Even if Drury sticks around in KC in 2026, he&#8217;ll be a long shot for any kind of fantasy value.<span class=\"newsByline\">&#8212;<i><a target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoballer.com\/author\/keithghernandezgmail-com\">Keith Hernandez<\/a><\/i><\/span><br \/><span class=\"newsSource\">Source: <a target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Royals\/status\/2019063742407778526\">Kansas City Royals<\/a><\/span>\n            <\/div><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/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.rotoballer.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Royals Sign Brandon Drury to Minor-League Deal Share: Link copied to clipboard!
