Having a career year, albeit modestly.
2017 was better. Much better defense, similar average. His OBP is a career best (.345 vs. .320), but he had 19 HRs in 2017 and he's probably not topping 10 this year. Not stealing this year, either. For comparison, fWAR was 3.2 in 2017, 1.4 this year.
There was a thought that the Royals should have moved him earlier this year to take advantage of his defensive rep and his offensive surge when there were signs his D was fading.
