A veteran’s quest to rejoin the KC Royals begins this week. How will he do?
Welcome back to Kings of Kauffman’s KC Royals Projections series for 2021. Between now and Opening Day, our writers are analyzing how various Royals performed last season and predicting how they might fare this year. Up today is pitcher Ervin Santana.
Ervin Santana will return to the club when the KC Royals open spring training this week.
