Dyson was drafted by the Royals in 2006 in the 50th round and was a pivotal part of the Royals’ 2014-15 World Series runs.
Dyson, an exceptional base stealer, coined the phrase, “That’s what speed do” — ranking third in the American League with the most stolen bases.
The Royals traded Dyson to the Mariners for right-hander Nate Karns in January 2017.
