Dyson turns 32-years-old in 2017 and will hit free agency that winter. While unquestionably valuable as a bench player, Dyson has enjoyed multiple opportunities since Alex Gordon‘s 2014 hamstring injury to take a full-time role. Every time, he’s shown that his bat gets exposed in a full-time role.
Add in the fact that the Kansas City Royals traded for 26-year-old Billy Burns who possesses a similar speed/defense combo to Dyson, and it seems that next winter would be the perfect time to flip the veteran bench player for whatever prospects Dayton Moore can get on the open market.
