The Kansas City Royals have released right-handed pitcher Ross Stripling and an unnamed catcher, as Stripling could not secure a place in the active roster after struggling during spring training. With a notable career start with the Dodgers, Stripling's performance has declined over recent seasons, notably while with the Giants and Athletics. His recent spring training yielded dismal results, displaying a tough path for his return. Stripling's career highlights an All-Star appearance but has been marked by inconsistency in later years, leading to his release under Article XX(B) free agent status.
"The Royals announced that they’ve granted both right-hander Ross Stripling and a catcher their release, following Stripling's struggles and a minor league deal with Kansas City."
"Despite an impressive run early in his career—boasting a 3.51 ERA and even an All-Star appearance in 2018—Stripling has faced difficulties, culminating in subpar recent seasons."
