The Kansas City Royals addressed multiple major needs at the trade deadline, from their injury-plagued pitching depth to their inefficient outfield.
While they seemingly-checked all the boxes in an overarching sense, there are some specifics that could be questioned on whether or not they capitalized to the highest degree possible.
This really applied to their outfield, as while they undoubedtly upgraded in the corners with the acquisitions of both Randal Grichuk and Mike Yastrzemski, they opted to stick to their guns in center field with Kyle Isbel.
While Isbel is one of the best center fielders defensively in all of baseball - sitting seventh in DRS and sixth in OAA - his offense has some glaring holes, as he entered the trade deadline with a 72 wRC+.
