Going into the offseason, outfield was a clear need for the Royals. They made a few rumored bids to improve their outfield situation, but nothing really came to fruition. As a result, according to FanGraphs’ depth charts Hunter Renfroe is once again slated to get about half of the plate appearances in right field in 2025. That tracks with 2024, when he got 407 PAs and hit .228/.300/.399 for a 95 wRC+ and 0.1 fWAR. Woof.
However, late in Spring Training, the Royals made a move to go get Mark Canha. Both men have accrued over 3000 PAs in the bigs, so at this point we pretty much know who they are.
