Denard Span Stats

Denard Span, who played 11 seasons in the big leagues (1,359 games, 5,956 plate appearances) for the Twins, Nationals, Giants, Rays and Mariners, confirmed that he's officially retired from baseball. The 36-year-old found a cold free-agent market last offseason. Im a man of principles, and when those principles arent met, I cant go along with it, Span explained. That comes after the outfielder was only offered the league minimum before the 2019 season. He hit .261/.341/.419 with 11 home runs, 22 doubles, seven triples and nine stolen bases in 501 plate appearances with the Rays and Mariners in 2018. Span finishes his 11-year career with a .281/.347/.398 slash line, 71 home runs, 490 RBI, 773 runs scored and 185 stolen bases in 1,359 games.

The Seattle Mariners did not pick up outfielder Denard Span's $12 million option for the 2019 season, making him a free agent, according to a source. Span will instead be given a $4 million buyout. The 34-year-old hit .261/.341/.419 with 11 home runs, 58 RBI and nine stolen bases in 137 games with the Rays and Mariners in 2018. He's nearing the end of his career and would merely provide depth in the outfield for any team that takes a chance on him. He's unlikely to receive an everyday role wherever he lands, giving him very limited fantasy value for 2019.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Denard Span went 1-for-3 with two strikeouts in the Mariners 9-3 loss to the A's on Wednesday. The veteran has had an awful month of September and is 6-for-41 (.146) over his last 15 games. He is hitting .200 overall in the month of September after a solid season since being acquired by the Mariners. Span slashed .286/.329/.494 in the month of August but is finishing up his season with a thud. Span never really had a lot of fantasy value to begin with but should not be in lineups for the final few games.
