The Royals head into this week’s Winter Meetings seeking to add a bat to the lineup to improve the offense. This season, Royals third basemen combined to hit .222/.280/.324, with Maikel Garcia spending most of the time there. He regressed with the bat this year, which could cause the team to look to upgrade the position.
There have been rumors the team could have interest in Phillies All-Star third baseman Alec Bohm, but the asking price from Philadelphia is said to be quite high. According to a report this week by Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, the Royals may be setting their targets a bit lower, looking for younger, less established player.
