The Royals have made a bit of a splash so far this off-season, spending a bit while others have gone into austerity mode. Already they have added first baseman Carlos Santana, outfielder Michael Taylor, starting pitcher Mike Minor, and have brought back reliever Greg Holland, but they may not be done quite yet. Dayton Moore told reporters he is still looking for a left-handed outfield bat, and his early aggressiveness may pay off in a slow-moving market. One free agent that fits the bill is former Cubs slugger Kyle Schwarber.
Schwarber was a standout catcher at the University of Indiana, but after the Cubs made him the fourth overall pick in the 2014 draft, he moved to the outfield.
