A KC Royals outfielder struggles at the plate but could still make the roster.
The KC Royals didn’t have a Cactus League game to play Tuesday, but that doesn’t mean there wasn’t work to do. The clock is ticking on the club’s roster—the number of players still in spring camp far exceeds the 26-man Opening Day limit—so it’s a good bet manager Mike Matheny, General Manager Dayton Moore, and the rest of the Royal brain trust spent time debating the pros and cons of players on the bubble.
With the 13-pitcher lid lifted for this season, expect the club to carry at least that number, if not one more, for the first few weeks.
