The Royals may still be looking to improve the club, with Dayton Moore saying the team needs to add a left-handed bat. There are still a number of quality free agents remaining on the market, including Mike Moustakas, but the Royals may have been interested in a different infielder - Neil Walker.
According to Boston Globe reporter Nick Cafardo, the Royals made the second baseman an offer - just not a very lucrative one.
The Royals were unsuccessful in trying to bring Walker aboard. His asking price was too high. The Royals were hoping to bring in Walker on a minor league deal, with the chance to make the big club.
