Honestly, the Kansas City Royals have been frustratingly inactive during this off-season. It doesn’t help that the few moves made have not been very inspiring. Sure, Ryan Yarborough and Jordan Lyles are MLB pitchers, but they are certainly not good or great ones. Plus, general manager J.J. Picollo said “the dollars are going to be challenging,” so the Royals actually making an impactful move in free agency was unlikely from the get-go. It is frustrating, but somewhat understandable.
The Royals got their pitching coaching staff, including Brian Sweeney and Zach Bove, together late in the game.
