The Royals have been an oasis of activity in a slow off-season around baseball, having already added free agent first baseman Carlos Santana, outfielder Michael Taylor, starting pitcher Mike Minor, and re-signing reliever Greg Holland. But in case you thought the Royals are done, Dayton Moore’s recent comments to MLB Network radio this week suggest there still could be work for him to do.
In the interview, Moore cited the versatility of Hunter Dozier and Whit Merrifield as reasons why the Royals could be flexible with who they continue to pursue. But he adds that if they were to add another position player, it would “ideally” be a left-handed bat that could play at either third base or outfield - or perhaps both.
