Yesterday the Royals placed Salvador Perez at the DH spot for the 28th time this season. That is a number that is approaching his career-high for starts at the position that he set in the 2018 season when he was put in that spot 30 times. It’s a position the Royals fans are likely to see him at more and more as he plays through his contract that extends through his club option season of 2026. Later in the game, they sacrificed the DH to pinch run for Cam Gallagher in the 11th inning and move Salvy behind the plate, and while that didn’t stretch into difficulty, it got me thinking about a future roster possibility next year and into future seasons.
Maybe three isn’t a crowd
