About this puzzle

Playing Career Path in the MLB

Baseball careers are long relative to the other sports covered here, and the trade deadline plus waiver wire keep the player pool moving even for established veterans, so a Career Path chain can stretch across a decade and half a dozen organizations without the player ever being a star. Watch for a path with one dominant early stop followed by several short ones -- that's often a player traded away from the team that developed them, chasing a roster spot on contenders late in their career.
