Jonathan India is exactly the player we were expecting the Royals to go after in the offseason. A leadoff hitter to set the table for Bobby was desperately needed, though it would have been nice if he played center field. As part of the trade, they got Joey Wiemer who is maybe going to play some center, possibly as a platoon option with Kyle Isbel. Who is Joey Wiemer?
Joey was a fourth-round draft pick in 2020 who then moved pretty quickly up the prospect rankings after having a very good start in the minors. He made it into some top 100 lists before being called up in 2023.
