Kansas City's starting pitching surplus has been the talk of the town among the Royals faithful this offseason, as they wait and see how J.J. Picollo and the front office narrow down the staff.
While some teams might be focusing on landing the seemingly unattainable Cole Ragans at the moment, there's certainly been reported interest in other Royals starters who seem much more gettable.
The one issue the league has been facing as a whole this winter has been a slow pitching market, specifically at the top.
Other than Dylan Cease signing with the Blue Jays last month, the game-changing, "domino-effect" free agent starters still remain in the board, which doesn't bode well for teams like the Royals looking to potentially capitalize on promising arms like Kris Bubic for example, who seem like consolation prize-type hurlers for those that miss out on say a Framber Valdez, Ranger Suarez, Zac Gallen or Michael King.
