If you haven’t heard yet, the Royals announced earlier today that top prospect Raul Mondesi has been included on the Royals World Series roster.
The move is a surface level head scratcher, seeing that Mondesi is 20 and has never played above the AA level, where he sported a paltry .651 OPS.
However, with Mondesi replacing Terrance Gore, it is fair to speculate that Mondesi is not here for his bat.
Gore has been the subject of speculation throughout September and into October due to his limited skill set, so his removal isn’t all that surprising.
