The MLB’s return is far from certain at this point and no one is sure when it will possibly occur, but that hasn’t stopped the KC Royals from thinking ahead. Manager Mike Matheny and general manager Dayton Moore have both put some thought into potentially expanded rosters and what they’d look like for the Boys in Blue.
In an article published by MLB.com’s Jeffrey Flanagan, he addressed the idea of expanding from 26 players to as many as 28 or 29. This would not only allow teams more lineup or bullpen flexibility in a condensed season, but it would also ensure no one gets overworked after having time off from normally-scheduled games.
