Going into the season, the Kansas City Royals really didn’t have a whole lot of depth. No position really stood out as a strength, and the Royals really didn’t have a player to be overly excited about. As the year has progressed, players have been traded for, and with the MLB Draft, that narrative seems to be changing.
When the Royals traded and drafted an outfielder this year, they seemed to have one goal in mind. Find a player that is strong defensively and on the base paths, that has potential at the plate. Luckily for the Royals, the “having potential at the plate” has already started trending up for some of the future pieces.
