The Kansas City Royals have acquired the contract of right-hander Gant from the Atlantic League's Long Island Ducks, signaling a potential comeback for the pitcher who last played in the majors in 2021. Known for his trades from the Mets to the Braves and then to the Cardinals, Gant had notable success with St. Louis, primarily as a reliever, boasting a 3.43 ERA. Despite promising starts, including a strong 1.60 ERA early in 2021, Gant faced challenges that led to a decline in performance. He will now join the Royals' Triple-A affiliate.
Gant's journey from Long Island Ducks to Kansas City showcases resilience, illustrating how players can rebound and find new opportunities in professional baseball.
After being drafted in 2011, Gant experienced multiple trades before establishing himself with the Cardinals, evidencing the challenges young players often face in the MLB.
