The KC Royals should be heavy in the Rule 5 draft with multiple 40 man roster spots open. There are lots of options, but pitchers stand out.
The KC Royals aren’t hurting for pitching prospects. They have plenty to go around in the minors and it’s likely there will be even more seeing their debut during the 2021 season. Still, it feels as though one can never really have enough pitchers. The more pitchers with potential, the more longevity and power it seems teams have.
For the Royals, while they could still be looking to fill other positions, if they are going to add any more prospects, a pitcher is likely.
