During the 2017 season, Maxwell made waves by becoming the first baseball player to kneel during the national anthem in an attempt to bring awareness to social injustices.
A little more than a month later, Maxwell was arrested on charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and disorderly conduct after he allegedly pointed a gun at a food delivery person at his Arizona home.
Maxwell appeared in 18 games for the A's in 2018 and hit .182/.207/.309 during that span with four doubles and one home run. He was sent to Triple-A Nashville in early June, and finished the season there.

Following the conclusion of the 2018 season, Maxwell was outrighted off the 40-man roster by the A's and he elected to become a free agent. In December, Maxwell reportedly fired his agent.
Now, the 28-year-old will try to rebuild his value and appeal in the Mexican League.
