Royals Focus on Outfield Upgrades
The Kansas City Royals have been busy this winter, with a clear emphasis on bolstering their outfield. Just earlier this month, the team made significant moves by signing right-handed hitter Lane Thomas and trading for switch-hitter Isaac Collins. These additions join a roster already featuring Kyle Isbel, Jac Caglianone, Nick Loftin, and several others, all with the aim of climbing out of the bottom tier of outfield fWAR this coming season.
Ongoing Pursuit for More Talent
Despite these recent acquisitions, the Royals are not resting on their laurels. Their aggressive approach in the outfield market is highlighted by their interest in Adolis García, who ultimately inked a deal with the Philadelphia Phillies. The team is also exploring options like Boston Red Sox trade candidate Jarren Duran, indicating a continued commitment to enhancing their roster.
New Target on the Radar: Austin Hays
The latest name to emerge in the Royals’ outfield pursuit is Austin Hays. The talented outfielder, known for his impactful bat, could provide the Royals with the boost they need as they look to improve their standing. With a keen eye for talent, Kansas City appears determined to reshape its outfield and bolster its competitive edge in the upcoming season.
