The offseason is back to its traditional Thanksgiving crawl. The holiday has slowed much of the momentum it gained around the 40-man roster deadline. That should change over the coming weeks as the Winter Meetings kick off in early December. The first two weeks of December are usually busy with trades and free-agent signings. For the Royals, hopefully, that proves true as well. There’s a lot of ground to cover in improving a disappointing 2023 roster. It’s impossible to gauge just where the offseason will finish up, but one of the more intriguing questions leading into next season could actually be an area where very little change is expected at all.
