Current Houston Astros first baseman Jose Abreu is the first name that springs to mind. He won the MVP award in the shortened season of 2020 for the White Sox.

However, things have not gone well for the Cuban emigree since coming to Texas. Despite leading the league in RBIs in both 2019 and 2020, Abreu's 10 home runs and 31 RBIs put him on course for his worst season since joining the league in 2014.

Additionally, it took Abreu more than two months to hit his first home run for the Astros.

Pitcher Dallas Keuchel won the 2015 AL Cy Young Award pitching for the Houston Astros. The then-27-year-old led the league in wins, batters faced, and innings pitched, speaking to his longevity. A five-time Gold Glover, Keuchel inked a three-year, $55 million deal with the Chicago White Sox. However, he was released in 2022 after posting a 7.88 ERA in his first eight starts.

"The Yankees haven't had a complete game shutout thrown against them since Dallas Keuchel on June 25, 2015. That's the longest streak of any team in baseball. The next closest is the Phillies, who have gone since September 15, 2017" - Talkin' Yanks
