Guardians lose Lane Thomas to $5.25 million deal with AL Central rival

The Cleveland Guardians still have to solve their centerfield woes.

Now, they know Lane Thomas won't be the solution.

On Thursday night, Thomas signed a one-year, $5.25 million free agent contract with the Kansas City Royals , according to MLB.com's Mark Feinsand .

Thomas departs for an AL Central rival after a season-and-a-half in Cleveland.

He was originally a key trade deadline pickup for the Guardians from the Nationals in 2024.

In that first 53-game stint with Cleveland, Thomas batted .209 with 10 doubles, seven homers and four steals. He also provided his usual reliable defense and arm in the outfield.
