The Royals added to their bench depth last week adding right-handed hitting infielder Hanser Alberto, but that does not mean they have ended their search for a left-handed bat, something Alec Lewis echoed in a recent piece for The Athletic. Many of the top free agents have signed, but the Royals may still be able to find a complementary piece on a bargain. One veteran they may target is outfielder Nick Markakis.
Markakis has long seemed like a player built for Kauffman Stadium. The 15-year veteran was a solid defender in his prime, winning three Gold Glove awards in right field.
