The Royals open the season Thursday with a 3 p.m. home game against the Chicago White Sox.
Yet as the clock ticks closer to that 2018 opener, we have no idea which Royals will come out of the Kauffman Stadium dugout for their opening day introductions. The bullpen will remain a mystery until the team announces its 25-man roster, which was likely happen Wednesday afternoon.
The one thing that is certain: First baseman and heavy hitter Frank Schwindel will not be on it.
Royals fans have scratched their heads over that decision for days. Why not take a chance on Schwindel’s powerful bat now?
