When John Sherman becomes the new owner of the Kansas City Royals in November, one would think he’s going to make a splash to get the fanbase excited again. While Mookie Betts could certainly achieve that, there’s no question that the assets needed to acquire him would be costly. The Royals could shift their attention to another power-hitter in Cubs’ left-fielder Kyle Schwarber.
The north siders are underwhelming for the second consecutive season and currently, have a fingers’ grasp on the second wild-card spot. If they let it completely slip away, or frankly get ousted in the wild-card round, Theo Epstein and company could make major changes this offseason which might see a core player on the move.
