Kansas City Royals: Three offseason free agent targets
By Nick Stevens
These three free agents are realistic targets of the Kansas City Royals this offseason.
The Kansas City Royals enter the 2020-2021 offseason with numerous holes to fill on their roster, but how active will they be this winter? It’s not hard to guess that the Royals won’t be major players for the top free agents on the market, but there are a handful of moves they can make to take a step forward in 2021.
With a pair of promising pitching prospects in their starting rotation in Brady Singer and Kris Bubic and a core group of hitters in place, the Kansas City Royals may not be a playoff team next season, but there is an opportunity for this organization to take a step forward while not bringing in the high-priced free agents.
More top prospects like Asa Lacy, Bobby Witt Jr, Daniel Lynch, and Jackson Kowar aren’t too far away from making an impact at the major league level, meaning the time to jump on the Kansas City Royals bandwagon is now before the impressive talent down on the farm system reaches the big leagues.
But where can the Royals go this winter to fill some gaps and put together the competitive team Dayton Moore expects to have on the field? With needs in the outfield, starting rotation, and bullpen, here are three free agents the Royals can target this offseason.
