The Royals have a pretty rich tradition in Kansas City. Despite the shadow of Hall of Famer George Brett looming over the position, the Royals have done pretty well at the hot corner with Kevin Seitzer, Joe Randa, and Mike Moustakas all providing solid play for several years.
But as Ned Yost once famously said, “there is no third baseman tree.” Solid third basemen don’t just spring forth from the ground, they must be developed or acquired. The Royals have traded away Mike Moustakas, and although it might make some sense to bring him, back, there is no indication there will be a reunion.
