The Winter Meetings came and went without the Royals making a single transaction, despite what looks like a market that is moving a bit quicker than the glacial movement of the last few off-seasons. But remember (a) the Royals didn’t make any major moves at the Winter Meetings last year and added Will Smith, Chris Stratton, Seth Lugo, Michael Wacha, and Hunter Renfroe in the week afterward, and (b) the Royals have already made two significant moves re-signing Wacha and adding Jonathan India.
Still, there is still much to do if they want to solidify their position as a contender.
