He had a period where he was productive but that was a few yeats ago.  Beaner and McClappy are desperate.  This guy is a reach. 

he had a serious groin/abdominal injury in 2022 that caused him to miss the second half of the season and sort of lost his role in kc in the following offseason

 

Likely a pretty serviceable player still…playing for next to nothing contract wise on top of that

Hardman goes from team to team because along with flashes of speed and talent he features poor ball security and the dropsies. He will do more damage than we can afford.

maybe, depends how many he's returned and how that compares to league averages

 

There was a reason Hardman was unemployed...
