At this point, the Royals search for outfield upgrades is anything but a secret, with the rumor mill swirling this week with potential free agent and trade fits they could pursue to address this pressing need..
However, apart from reportedly looking for a pair of ourfielders, "one through free agency and the other through trade" according to The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal last weekend, the specific makeup of they type of player they were looking to fill this role remained somewhat a mystery.
However, after the Royals reportedly acquired Lane Thomas on Thursday night, who seems a shoo-in to occupy their desired right-handed platoon role, it appears the only position left to wonder about now is their starting left fielder.
