Whit Merrifield gets some ink in this Associated Press story about the grind of Spring Training:
”A couple years ago, I was trying to make the team and I played in like every spring game but one,” Merrifield said. “I came into the season sore - the spring is tough in that regard - but once you get established, you get days off, play the first half a game and get out.”
Royals also make another AP story. Dave Skretta talks about the team speed.
