Whit Merrifield Swipes Two Bases On Friday
3 years agoKansas City Royals second baseman/outfielder Whit Merrifield went 1-for-4 with a pair of stolen bases in the team's 6-4 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday. It was Merrifield's first multi-steal game since June 19. He now has an MLB-leading 27 stolen bases on the year. Merrifield's name came up in some trade rumors prior to this Friday's trade deadline, but no move was made, so he will remain in Kansas City. The Royals' lineup has been disappointing this year, but there's still enough there to help enable Merrifield to remain an elite fantasy producer, particularly due to his stolen base prowess.
