Q&A: Yost discusses Royals' spring surprises

SURPRISE, Ariz. -- As the Royals prepare for Sunday's Opening Night against the Mets and a rematch of the World Series, manager Ned Yost discussed the surprises of camp, his deep bullpen and his Opening Day starter.

"I just saw the development of [prospect] Raul Mondesi and the strides he took," Yost said. "… and there was [outfielder] Reymond Fuentes and [right-hander Chien-Ming] Wang."

Yost has had a deep bullpen for several years, and his 2016 version may be even better.

"We lost Holly [Greg Holland] late in the year, but Wade [Davis] stepped in and did a phenomenal job," Yost said.
