The KC Royals will likely be looking for some help over the offseason, and while they have plenty of young pitchers, a vet could help guide the way.
The KC Royals still have some work to do if they are going to get back to the postseason. Luckily, they may have a chance to bring in some decent free agents during this offseason, seeing as the market might be slow and prices might be low, just the way the Royals like it.
They have multiple needs and while they seem to have fairly decent depth in a few spots such as the outfield and pitching, finding some short-term help until the young prospects are fully ready might be what the plan is in Kansas City.
