The Royals finished with the seventh-best ERA in baseball, in large part due to their two All-Star pitchers Seth Lugo and Cole Ragans, as well as strong performances from Michael Wacha and Brady Singer. They traded Singer away, but will still have some rotation depth with Kris Bubic expected to re-join the rotation after a year in the bullpen recovering from Tommy John surgery. Alec Marsh, Daniel Lynch IV, and prospect Noah Cameron could be other options to start. But GM J.J. Picollo has indicated he wants to add more pitching depth to hedge against injuries.
