The Kansas City Royals have been one of the more active teams in MLB this offseason. While they haven't yet made any absolutely ground-breaking moves like bringing in a Jarren Duran or a Brendan Donovan like many fans are hoping for, they've gotten some of the ground work to a great offseason completed by bringing in impactful middle-of-the-road type players.
One of the most notable moves the Royals made was trading for left-handed reliever Matt Strahm from the Philadelphia Phillies in exchange for Jonathan Bowlan.
The Royals certainly shouldn't have any buyer's remorse about this deal, as Strahm is a clear upgrade skill wise over Bowlan and his left-handedness was a pretty substantial need that the Royals had to address in their bullpen.
