With multiple recent roster moves, the Kansas City Royals have cleared up some space on the 40 man roster. It’s likely the Royals will start to take a look at some available free agents, but there is also a chance they plan to be active in the Rule 5 draft quickly approaching.

Most teams ensured to protect their most valuable assets before the roster deadline in November, but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t still some gems available for a closer look.
