Royals Rumblings - News for November 28, 2018
Dayton Moore is looking for a backup shortstop, and it won’t necessarily be Nicky Lopez.
“I think we’ll be very observant and open-minded to veteran players that perhaps are left standing a little bit [in free agency],” Moore told MLB.com. “When you evaluate our current roster, we definitely need someone who can back up at shortstop on the 25-man roster. We have to look at that. Who that is right now, I can’t tell you.”
Dayton Moore has liked and respected Matheny for a while, and when the Cardinals fired him, the Royals were interested immediately.
