Royals Release Nick Gordon
Briefly

The Kansas City Royals have released infielder/outfielder Nick Gordon, who had recently played for their Triple-A team in Omaha. The 29-year-old, acquired from the Orioles earlier in 2025, played 20 games, achieving a batting average of .270. Once a top prospect selected 5th overall by the Twins in 2014, Gordon's MLB career has been underwhelming, evidenced by a lifetime .243 batting line. Positionally versatile, Gordon has struggled primarily defensively at shortstop but has played various roles in the outfield, contributing to Kansas City's roster in different capacities.
The Royals have released infielder/outfielder Nick Gordon, who was with their Triple-A affiliate in Omaha, allowing him to explore opportunities with other teams.
Gordon, who was selected with the No. 5 overall pick in 2014, has not lived up to his prospect potential, hitting just .243 in the majors.
