Free-agent outfielder Adam Duvall turned down a $1 million contract from the Kansas City Royals. The 36-year-old has informed teams that if he is not guaranteed at least $3 million in a contract, he will retire. Duvall made $3 million with the Atlanta Braves last season. Last summer in Atlanta, the slugger held an underwhelming .182/.245/.323 slash line with 10 doubles and 11 home runs. However, he generated a strong 10.7 percent barrel rate. When facing left-handed pitchers, Duvall was also quite productive, as he posted a solid .252/.341/.514 slash line with four doubles, eight home runs, and a 13:28 BB:K. Duvall has been an elite power hitter throughout the majority of his professional career. If he finds a suitor for the upcoming season, he will likely only see time in a platoon role and would only carry value in deeper AL/NL-only formats.

Atlanta Braves outfielder Adam Duvall went 3-for-3 with a solo home run in Thursday's victory versus the division rival Philadelphia Phillies. Despite his strong performance, the veteran was pinch-hit for with Jarred Kelenic late in the contest. Duvall, who has always been know for ability to go yard is struggling this season with a .186 batting average to go along with 11 homers and 30 RBI. He has just nine hits over his last 45 at-bats and has mostly been a bench bat for Atlanta. Regardless of his big performance on Thursday, Duvall hasn't done nearly enough to warrant any attention amongst managers. He can safely remain on the waiver wire.

Atlanta Braves outfielder Adam Duvall came up big in Tuesday's victory versus the Arizona Diamondbacks. The veteran slugger went 2-for-3 on the evening with a walk and three-run home run. The homer was crushed 441 feet off Zac Gallen to give the Braves a 5-0 lead at the time. Duvall has gotten plenty of playing time for the Braves and has homered twice in the last three games for Atlanta. The slugger has homered eight times this season, but is only hitting .191 on the season, making him a weak option in the deepest of leagues. Outside of daily lineups and managers hoping to capitalize on a power surge, Duvall can safely remain on the waiver wire.
