The Kansas City Royals are back prospecting for value among players on the comeback trail. Jonathan Sanchez and Bobby Parnell haven’t pitched in major league baseball for numerous seasons. Sanchez’s last big league appearance came in 2013 for the Pittsburgh Pirates. Parnell last pitched for Detroit in 2016, but hasn’t been effective since saving 22 games for the Mets in 2013.
Sanchez famously failed with the Kansas City Royals after Dayton Moore dealt Melky Cabrera to the Giants in return for the lefty starter before the 2012 season.
