Anne Rogers previews next week’s Winter Meetings.
Potential Trade Candidates With Singer already gone, the Royals might be more reluctant to trade from their Major League team, but there are still names to discuss. Third baseman Maikel Garcia has popped up in conversations because of his ability to play shortstop. The Royals were able to trade Singer because of their pitching depth, which also includes names like Alec Marsh, Kris Bubic and Daniel Lynch IV. That might extend to the bullpen, too, with young relievers Angel Zerpa and Carlos Hernández.
David Lesky notes that while the pitching staff was good, it could improve in one area.
