The Royals are still looking for someone to lead them in the dugout with bench coach Pedro Grifol, third base coach Vance Wilson, Rays bench coach Matt Quatraro, Dodgers first base coach Clayton McCullough, and Phillies third base coach Dusty Wathan as known candidates.
But the Royals also have a critical role to fill with pitching coach. The Royals finished dead last in runs allowed, with the most walks and fewest strikeouts. They have a stable full of young arms they need to develop, so it will be vital to have the right leadership to steer them towards success.
