The Kansas City Royals clinched their second straight AL pennant on Saturday night after defeating the Toronto Blue Jays 4-3 in Game 6 of the ALCS. The Royals came up one win short of a World Championship last year and will look to claim their first title since 1985 against the Mets in this year’s World Series. But whether or not Kansas City ends up winning the championship, this is a franchise looking at some major, unavoidable changes this offseason.
Kansas City went all-in at the 2015 trade deadline, as GM Dayton Moore acquired Johnny Cueto from the Reds and Ben Zobrist from the Athletics.
