The Royals certainly will go bargain shopping for pitching, like they did last year with Homer Bailey (league minimum) and Jake Diekman ($2.75M). It wouldn’t be surprising if they check in on Diekman this offseason -- he loved playing in Kansas City and was well-respected in the clubhouse. And as always, the Royals will kick the tires on some potential reclamation projects, maybe even a Jeremy Hellickson or someone similar. But pending new owner John Sherman likely will play it conservative with payroll until Kansas City is ready to contend again, maybe in 2021.
