It's no secret that the most volatile position in baseball is a relief pitcher. And besides maybe an NFL kicker, it could very well carry the most year-to-year uncertainty of any position in all of sports.
That's why regardless of how good a bullpen is one year, most, if not every, team will look to make some changes to their relief corps.
That's precisely the case for the Royals, whose bullpen looked good in 2025. They sat tied for sixth in MLB in ERA, and among the top half of league bullpens in WHIP and FIP.
