Overview
- Multiple outlets report Thomas agreed to a one-year, $5.25 million contract with $1 million in incentives, with the deal not yet confirmed by the club and contingent on a physical.
- Thomas was limited to 39 games in 2025 and hit .160 after a right wrist bone bruise and September surgery to address plantar fasciitis in his right foot.
- He posted a 2023 breakout with Washington featuring 28 home runs and 20 steals and has experience at all three outfield spots with a notable arm.
- Kansas City targeted outfield help after modest production from the position in 2025, and Thomas owns a career .292/.359/.500 line against left-handed pitching that points to platoon value.
- Reporting credits include MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand and Anne Rogers, with the Associated Press noting The Athletic first reported the agreement, and coverage also highlights Thomas’ 2024 ALDS grand slam for Cleveland.
