Kole Calhoun Hangs Up His Cleats

Free-agent outfielder Kole Calhoun has decided to retire from professional baseball. The veteran announced his retirement in a lengthy statement online after a solid 12-year run in the majors. Calhoun began to cement himself in the 2013 season when he hit .282 with eight homers in just 58 games. He went on to become the everyday right fielder for the Angels the following season when he hit .272 with 17 home runs and a .775 OPS across 127 games in the 2013 campaign. He would be an integral part of the Angels' offense for the next five seasons, launching a career-high 33 home runs in the 2019 campaign. All told, the 36-year-old posted a .242 average with 179 long balls and 34 stolen bases across 1,239 appearances in the big leagues.

Kole Calhoun Released By The Yankees

New York Yankees outfielder Kole Calhoun was released on Saturday. Calhoun opted out of his minor-league contract on June 1 and has officially been released on June 3 as the Yankees chose not to add him to their active roster. The veteran 35-year-old should resurface on a new team in the coming days as you can never have enough outfield depth.

Kole Calhoun Opting Out Of Deal With Yankees

Outfielder Kole Calhoun is exercising a June 1 opt-out clause with the New York Yankees and will become a free agent unless the team adds him to their active MLB roster within 72 hours, according to a source. Calhoun has changed his swing this year and currently has a .963 OPS at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, so he's likely to draw interest from other teams if he becomes a free agent again. It's unlikely the Yankees add the 35-year-old to their major-league roster. In 125 games with the Texas Rangers in 2022, Calhoun hit just .196 with 14 doubles, a triple, 12 home runs, 49 RBI, three stolen bases and 36 runs scored in 424 plate appearances. He's a long shot to return any fantasy value in 2023, let alone get another shot in the big leagues with another club.

Yankees Sign Kole Calhoun To Minor-League Deal

The New York Yankees announced on Thursday that they signed free-agent outfielder Kole Calhoun to a minor-league deal. Calhoun signed with the Seattle Mariners in the offseason but became a free agent when he didn't make the Opening Day roster out of spring training. The 35-year-old veteran outfielder played in 125 games with the Texas Rangers last year and slashed a weak .196/.257/.330 with a .587 OPS, 12 home runs, 49 RBI, three stolen bases and 36 runs scored in 424 plate appearances. He can still offer some value with his glove in the outfield, but he doesn't have much to offer offensively these days and will strictly serve as organizational outfield depth with Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring) on the injured list.

Kole Calhoun Opts Out Of Minor-League Deal

Seattle Mariners outfielder Kole Calhoun opted out of his minor-league deal with the team on Sunday and is now a free agent, according to a source. Calhoun wasn't going to make the club's Opening Day roster, so he'll now hope to latch on with another team for the 2023 season. In 12 Cactus League games with the M's, Calhoun went 8-for-32 (.250) with a double, two RBI, two runs scored and six strikeouts in 35 plate appearances. In 125 games in 2022 with the Texas Rangers, the 35-year-old veteran slashed just .196/.257/.330 with a .587 OPS, 12 home runs, 49 RBI and 36 runs scored in 424 plate appearances. Calhoun might join another team on a minor-league deal, but he should be ignored in all fantasy leagues.

Kole Calhoun Signs Minor-League Deal With Mariners

Free-agent outfielder Kole Calhoun signed a minor-league deal with the Seattle Mariners on Thursday, pending a physical. Calhoun has already reported to big-league spring training with the team and will try to impress the coaching staff during Cactus League games. The 35-year-old veteran left-handed hitter spent the 2022 season with the Texas Rangers and slashed just .196/.257/.330 with a .587 OPS, 12 home runs, 49 RBI, 36 runs scored and three stolen bases in 424 plate appearances and 125 games. Calhoun was never much of an impact bat for fantasy managers, even during his prime with the Los Angeles Angels, and he'll strictly serve as outfield depth for a rising Mariners organization.

Kole Calhoun On The Bench Wednesday

Texas Rangers outfielder Kole Calhoun isn't in the team's starting lineup on Wednesday for a matchup with the Colorado Rockies and right-handed starter Jose Urena. Calhoun is hitting .208 with a .266 on-base percentage in 361 plate appearances for Texas this season. He's also collected 11 home runs and a pair of stolen bases. Adolis Garcia will move to right field and bat cleanup with Bubba Thompson starting in left field and hitting ninth. Thompson could be worth a look as a streaming option for fantasy managers in deeper leagues, given the matchup in Colorado. The 24-year-old is batting .255 with a .305 on-base percentage and six stolen bases in 60 plate appearances so far this season.

Kole Calhoun Not Close To A Return

Texas Rangers outfielder Kole Calhoun (heel) landed on the injured list on August 4, but the severity of the injury remains a mystery. The organization was hopeful it would only require a minimal stint on the injured list. Well, Calhoun has not participated in any baseball activities since going down. The longer it takes will only increase the chances of Calhoun needing a rehab assignment. Before the injury, Calhoun was hitting .211/.269/.363 with 11 home runs, 43 RBI. Fantasy managers should be able to find better production elsewhere.

Kole Calhoun Lands On The Injured List

Texas Rangers outfielder Kole Calhoun (heel) was placed on the 10-day injured list with right heel irritation on Thursday. The severity of Calhoun's injury is unknown, but he will miss at least the next 10 days. Calhoun is slashing .211/.269/.363 with 11 home runs, 43 RBI, 35 runs, and two stolen bases over 350 plate appearances in 2022. Bubba Thompson's contract was purchased from Triple-A Round Rock in a corresponding move. Thompson has elite speed and has stolen 49 bags over 80 games in Triple-A. Fantasy managers searching for speed can take a flyer on Thompson.

Kole Calhoun Begins To Cool Off

After getting off to a scorching-hot start in May, Texas Rangers outfielder Kole Calhoun looks like he might be beginning to cool off a little bit. In May, Calhoun had a slash line of .326/.382/.630 in 102 plate appearances with seven home runs, 19 RBI and an OPS of 1.012. So far in 2022, Calhoun ranks in the 92nd percentile of all MLB hitters in hard-hit rate, the 89th percentile in barrel percentage and the 87th percentile in average exit velocity. Additionally, Calhoun's 50% hard-hit rate ranks among the top 10% of all hitters in Major League Baseball. During his last three games, Calhoun has gone 2-for-12 with three strikeouts, possibly indicating that this Babe Ruth-like stretch is closing. If there is one universal truth to Calhoun's game, it might be that he does not have much discipline at the plate. In 2022, Calhoun ranks in just the sixth percentile in whiff rate, the 26th percentile in chase rate and the 21st percentile in walk rate.
