Royals' Bold Moves: Did They Miss the Mark on Santander and Profar?
Posted: Mon Feb 03, 2025 9:35 am
The Kansas City Royals have been making headlines lately with their pursuit of outfield talent, but the question remains: are they doing enough to bolster their roster for the upcoming season? With a reported three-year offer to Anthony Santander that ultimately fell through, and interest in Jurickson Profar that didn’t materialize, it seems the Royals are still searching for that middle-of-the-order bat they desperately need.
Let’s dive into the implications of these moves—or lack thereof. The Royals had one of the weakest outfield offenses last year, and while they’ve made some signings to strengthen their bullpen, is it enough to compete in a tough division? With the likes of Hunter Renfroe and MJ Melendez potentially platooning in the outfield, can we expect a significant improvement, or are we looking at another season of mediocrity?
Moreover, the Royals are experimenting with positional versatility by trying infielders like Michael Massey and Jonathan India in the outfield. Is this a smart strategy, or does it risk compromising their infield depth?
Let’s not forget the trade market. With names like Randal Grichuk and Adam Duvall still available, should the Royals take a gamble on a short-side platoon player, or is it time to make a bold trade using some of their prospects?
What are your thoughts on the Royals' current strategy? Are they playing it too safe, or is their cautious approach a wise long-term plan? What bold predictions do you have for their outfield situation as spring training approaches? Let’s hear your insights!
