First for Royals is solving 1B issue for '18

KANSAS CITY -- Who's on first?

As the Royals embark on Spring Training next week (pitchers and catchers report on Tuesday), the 2018 club has numerous questions that need to be answered, and the most notable is: Who is the mystery man that will play first base?

When the Royals recently dealt Brandon Moss to the A's, they subsequently traded their only experienced first baseman on the 40-man roster. Of course, this has led to much speculation that the Royals still are very much in the Eric Hosmer sweepstakes.

But if Hosmer signs elsewhere, who are the Royals left with at a position the organization always has regarded as highly significant?
