The winter meetings have now come and gone and the Kansas City Royals have remained much quieter than expected when the offseason began. Unfortunately, we had to see Ben Zobrist sign with the Chicago Cubs, but we can still cling to the hope of Alex Gordon returning. Of course, there’s a big market for him, and I think the bidding might get to a point that the Royals probably shouldn’t match. Still, the hope is still there for the time being, so that’s at least something for now. There’s still plenty of work to be done this winter for the Royals to have the best chance to defend the crown.
