Ongoing negotiations between the Major League Baseball Players Association and Major League Baseball concerning the 2020 season are bearing fruit. As of Friday evening, the MLBPA and MLB had reached agreement on several issues, apparently including big league roster expansion–the parties have reportedly agreed to at least start the season with 29-man rosters. How will the KC Royals fill additional spots?
Before baseball stopped March 12, the only novel roster question facing the Royals was who their “26th man” would be–under new rules effective this season, clubs can carry 26 players instead of 25.
