The Royals are inching toward their first move of the winter meetings.
Kansas City continues to pursue center fielder Billy Hamilton after he was non-tendered by the Reds last week, a source confirmed to The Star. But no agreement has yet been reached.
Hamilton, 28, possesses some of the best speed in the game, stealing 277 bases since arriving in the big leagues in late 2013. He has 264 steals since the start of 2014, the most in the majors. But he has never been a formidable hitter with a career .245/.298/.333 line. He batted .236 for the Reds in 2018.
