Dayton Moore has been aggressive this off-season seeking to improve the Royals, and he recently indicated he may not be done. In an interview with MLB Network Radio, he said the club may still be looking to add a left-handed bat, particularly one that could play either third base or outfield. Last week, I wrote about some potential free agent targets that could fit that bill, but there was one less obvious candidate that could be a fit in Kansas City - Japanese free agent Haruki Nishikawa.
The Royals haven’t signed a free agent directly from Japan since they inked reliever Yasushiko Yabuta in 2007.
